Description
The distal radioulnar joint is a uniaxial pivot synovial joint between the convex head of the ulna and the ulnar notch of the radius. Therefore, the radius pivots or moves around the relatively fixed ulna. The joint is stabilized by the dorsal and palmar radioulnar ligaments (or the distal radioulnar ligament group).
