A radially expandable sealed tubular joint (1) for use in oil and gas wells having a pair of radially expandable tubular elements (2 and 5) each having threading at a free end thereof and coupled to one another to form a flush joint connection, the threading (3 and 6) including hooked incomplete threads located at least adjacent the free ends, and a sealing substance extending between and adhering to the threading of one element and the threading of the other element, wherein after a radial expansion of the coupled pair of elements the sealing substance remains extended between and adhered to the threading (3) of one element and the threading (6) of the other element. The sealing substance is either a greaseless elastomeric sealant coated on one or both of the pair of elements (2 and 5) or a pure metal applied to each of the pair of elements (2 and 5).
