Functional outcome of four-corner arthrodesis for treatment of grade IV scaphoid non-union.
Functional limitations and pain are end results of scaphoid nonunion with progressive carpal collapse and radiocarpal arthritis. The aim of this study was to assess the functional outcome of four-corner arthrodesis with scaphoidectomy for the treatment of grade IV scaphoid nonunion with Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse (SNAC) stages II and III. Ten patients with symptomatic grade IV non unio...
متن کاملScaphoid excision with four-corner fusion: a biomechanical study.
PURPOSE Partial wrist arthrodesis is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of posttraumatic wrist arthritis because of its ability to provide pain relief without sacrificing complete wrist motion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the redistribution of force after four-corner fusion and scaphoid excision, and to correlate the findings with the reported clinical outcomes. ME...
متن کاملManagement of the scaphoid during four-corner fusion-a cadaveric study.
PURPOSE To examine the effects of scaphoid retention, inclusion, and excision on wrist motion and radiolunate contact characteristics in a cadaveric model after simulated 4-corner fusion with rigid internal fixation. METHODS Seven fresh-frozen cadaveric upper extremities were examined. For all surgical manipulations the motion was measured and contact characteristics were assessed using ultra...
متن کاملSalvage of post surgical scaphoid non-union
Introduction Acceptable results of scaphoid fracture have been reported associated with development of surgical procedures and improvement of fixation screws. However, some scaphoid fractures result in nonunion after surgery. Nonunion of scaphoid fracture causes osteoarthritis of the wrist. Therefore, it is important to achieve union. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed the salvag...
متن کاملFour Corner Fusion and Proximal Row Carpectomy: Comparison of Wrist Motion and Tendon Forces
Introduction: There is controversy as to whether a proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a better procedure than scaphoid excision with 4corner fusion for preserving motion in the painful posttraumatic arthritic wrist. Clinical studies have shown that wrist range of motion after PRC and 4-corner fusion are comparable, although slightly less after 4-corner fusion (Krakauer, Wyrick, Tomaino). Recent 1...
