Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ) Stabilisation: Restoring Wrist Rotation
DRUJ instability causes pain and limits forearm rotation. Surgical stabilisation is indicated when conservative measures fail.
What It Costs
Typical MOH-aligned fees:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,500 – 7,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,400 – 2,200
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually available when:
• Functional limitation is documented
• Surgery is reconstructive
Insurance Tip
Document loss of pronation/supination and failed non-surgical care.
Conclusion
Wrist stability underpins hand function. Coverage should reflect that importance.
