The extensor carpi ulnaris tendon shows the importance in the stability of the distal radial-ulnar joint. A negative ulnar variance may have an association with extensor carpi ulnaris tendon pathology, including subluxation. Subluxation / dislocation of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon is observed in athletes, especially tennis players and golfers, on the dominant side. According to Sole et al., 42% of recreational tennis players have unstable extensor carpi ulnaris tendon (subluxation or dislocation). Traumatic injuries to the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon that result in dislocation or subluxation are rare in the literature. However, they may be more common than supposed because they are often misdiagnosed, resulting in relapsing subluxation and delayed treatmentMetrics
