Results of ulnar shortening osteotomy with a new plate compression system.
PURPOSE The gold standard for treatment of ulnar impaction has become ulnar shortening osteotomy. Previous reports in the literature have shown not only good results with relief of ulnar-sided wrist pain but also significant nonunion rates and painful hardware necessitating further surgery and potentially, metal removal. The purpose of this paper is to review the success rate of ulnar shortenin...
متن کاملPatient-related factors influencing ulnar-shortening osteotomy outcomes using the trimed dynamic compression plate.
Ulnocarpal impingement can be surgically managed with various shortening osteotomy techniques. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively examine the outcomes of the ulnar-shortening osteotomy technique using the Trimed dynamic compression plate (Valencia, California) and to determine whether results vary among patient-related factors, including smoking status, occupation, preoperative di...
متن کاملVariables Prognostic for Delayed Union and Nonunion Following Ulnar Shortening Fixed With a Dedicated Osteotomy Plate.
PURPOSE To examine potential risk factors for the development of delayed or nonunion following elective ulnar shortening osteotomy using a dedicated osteotomy plating system. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent elective ulnar shortening using the TriMed single osteotomy dynamic compression plating system by 1 of 2 fellowship-trained hand surgeons over a 5...
متن کاملStacked-blade, single-cut, ulnar-shortening osteotomy.
The authors reviewed a 10-year consecutive series of ulnar-shortening osteotomies using a freehand, single oblique cut with 2 or 3 stacked saw blades. Twenty-one patients (23 wrists) with chronic ulnar impaction syndrome (mean age, 45 years; range, 16 to 73 years) demonstrated an average preoperative ulnar variance of +2.1 mm (range, 0.0 to 4.0 mm). An oblique osteotomy was performed in the dis...
متن کاملStep-cut distal ulnar-shortening osteotomy.
PURPOSE Several techniques for ulnar-shortening osteotomies have been described in recent years, reflecting the difficulties that sometimes are encountered in what seems to be a relatively simple procedure. We describe the use of a simple step-cut ulnar-shortening osteotomy stabilized with a lag screw and a palmarly placed 3.5-mm neutralization plate. METHODS Twenty-nine patients had the surg...
