Partial Wrist Fusion

This article presents a case of implant failure resulting in mechanical instability of a scaphotrapezotrapezoideal arthrodesis using magnesium-based headless bone screws. During revision surgery osteolysis surrounding the screws was observed as well as degraded screw threads already in existence at 6 weeks after implantation. The supposed osseous integration attributed to magnesium-based screws could not be reproduced in this particular case. Thus, it can be reasoned that the use of magnesium-based screws for partial wrist arthrodesis cannot be encouraged, at least not in dual use.

Background Posttraumatic ulnar translocation of the carpus, a result of radiocarpal ligament tear is a relatively rare condition that may lead to persistent wrist pain and loss of function. Case Description We report a case of radiocarpal ligament tear of which we reconstruct it with a vascularized interosseous membrane with 13 years of follow-up. Literature Review Many treatment options have been proposed for the posttraumatic ulnar translocation, ranging from open repair to partial wrist fusion. However, the long term results have been disappointing. Clinical Relevance Though this technique of reconstruction is technically demanding, it shows promising long term clinical outcome.

Partial Wrist Fusion

We report a case of delayed post-traumatic volar midcarpal dislocation in a 39 year-old woman. The dislocation was a gradual process starting from the time of injury. Initial X-rays showed a normal midcarpal joint. By 6 weeks, lunocapitate subluxation was apparent radiologically and by the 18 week X-ray, midcarpal dislocation had occurred. This type of wrist injury has not been previously reported. Because of advanced degenerative changes in the lunocapitate joint, a partial wrist fusion was performed with a successful outcome.
