ABSTRACT
Ulnar styloid fractures commonly occur in the setting of distal radius fractures and often progress to asymptomatic nonunion. Displaced basilar ulnar styloid fractures involving the deep radioulnar ligament attachments may cause distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. A careful clinical history, physical examination, review of imaging studies, and selected diagnostic interventions are important for confirming the relationship of the ulnar styloid nonunion with ulnar-sided wrist symptoms and/or DRUJ instability. Improved functional and symptomatic outcomes can be achieved with nonunion repair or fragment excision with or without triangular fibrocartilage complex repair, depending on the location and size of the ulnar styloid fracture.
