Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Seventeen patients had wrist fusions done for diseases other than rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist and carpal bones. Arthrodesis was done at the radiocarpal joint in five wrists and at the midcarpal joint in 12. There were 12 men and five women. Ages at the time of operation averaged 42 years. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 5 years and 5 months, and with an average of 1 year and 10 months. Overall postoperative results were excellent in five wrists, good in seven, fair in two, and poor in three. Wrists with the midcarpal fusion fared better than those wrists with the radiocarpal fusion. Complications included one pseudoarthrosis and one rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon. In one of the 17 wrists new osteoarthritic changes surrounding the arthrodesed joints occurred. |
