A distal radioulnar joint prosthesis for replacing the distal radioulnar joint and a method for its implantation is provided. Such a device includes an ulnar component, a radial component, and a motion liner. The ulnar component includes a stem, a collar, and a shell. The radial component includes a hemispherical ball and plate. The hemispherical ball of the radial component is secured with the radial plate and articulates with the ulnar shell via the motion liner. The prosthesis is designed to more accurately replicate the biomechanics of the distal wrist than currently used implants.
