Displaced sigmoid notch fracture and higher patient age are associated with distal radioulnar joint subluxation.

DS fractures and higher patient age are associated with DRUJ subluxation on postreduction CT images following DRFs. DS fractures are seen more commonly with PHUS fractures than DHUS. Patients with PHUS should be carefully assessed for sigmoid notch fractures and DRUJ congruency. These findings could be helpful for preoperative decision making in the treatment of DRFs.
