Radiolunate arthrodesis: A procedure for stabilising and preserving mobility in the arthritic wrist.

A new method for radiolunate arthrodesis in ulnar translocation of the carpus in the rheumatoid wrist.

Management 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...

A Slightly Dorsally Tilted Lunate on MRI can be Considered Normal

  Background: Abnormal angulation of the lunate can be an indication of intercarpal pathology. On magnetic resonance images (MRIs) the lunate often looks dorsally angulated, even in healthy wrists. The tilt on individual slices can also be different and might be misinterpreted as pathological, contributing to inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary surgery. The primary aim of this study was to det...

Fixed Lunate Flexion Deformity in Distal Radius Fractures.

Carpal malalignments in malunion of distal radius fracture are considered as an adaptive response of the carpus to loss of normal architecture of the distal radius. This condition leads to mechanical overload, ligament attenuation and progressive dynamic instability around the wrist joint. Radial corrective osteotomy is suggested as a treatment option of carpal malalignment after distal radius ...

بررسی اندکس‌های رادیوگرافیک مچ دست در بی‌ثباتی‌های این مفصل

    Background & Aim: In radiographic evaluation of carpal instability, the standard method has been the measurement of a series of angles and the new triangulation ratio on lateral wrist radiograms. This study was undertaken to compare these indices in normal and unstable joints. Patients and Methods: Nineteen normal wrist radiograms along with 21 with plamar and 19 with dorsal instability pat...
