The use of screws in the treatment of scapholunate instability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seven patients with chronic scapholunate instability (Geissler grade 2-4) were treated by percutaneous placement of screws across the scapholunate joint after arthroscopic debridement of the remnants of the scapholunate ligament. In all seven cases, the screw caused partial destruction of the lunate and/or scaphoid requiring screw removal within 6 months. We no longer perform this procedure.

متن کاملNew concept of scapholunate dissociation treatment and novel modification of Brunelli procedure - anatomical study
BACKGROUNDS This paper describes a novel method in treatment of scapholunate dissociation accompanied with rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid. The idea of this method is to create a kind of axial lever that can fully reconstruct anatomical relationship between the scaphoid and the lunate, with no involvement of extrinsic ligaments, and with simultaneous restriction of pathological alignment o...
متن کاملThree-corner midcarpal arthrodesis and scaphoidectomy: a simplified volar approach.
Midcarpal arthrodesis has been a treatment of choice in the last decade for scapholunate advanced collapse and related conditions of the wrist. In this study, we present a new uncomplicated technique in which a 3-corner intercarpal fusion is done with screw fixation from a volar approach. The advantages of this technique include simplified excision of the scaphoid, radial styloidectomy, and str...
