It has been theorized that malalignment of the distal radial fragment in the coronal
plane may compromise radioulnar stability afforded by the distal oblique bundle of
the interosseous membrane (IOM).2 We hypothesized that anatomic reduction of coronal alignment of a distal radius fracture
will decrease distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) displacement, particularly in specimens
with a distinct distal oblique bundle of the IOM.
