The distal radioulnar articulation[1] (also known as the distal radioulnar joint,[2] or inferior radioulnar joint[1][3]) is a synovial pivot joint between the two bones in the forearm; the radius and ulna. It is one of two joints between the radius and ulna, the other being the proximal radioulnar articulation. The joint features an articular disc, and is reinforced by the palmar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments.[1][3]
