Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand and Wrist Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Wrist arthritis causes progressive pain and limits motion.
  • Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) aims to alleviate pain and preserve wrist function.
  • PRC involves removing carpal bones to create a new articulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified proximal row carpectomy (PRC) technique.
  • To investigate the use of interposition tissue for improved durability.
  • To address potential limitations of standard PRC procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Excision of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum.
  • Formation of a new articulation between the capitate and distal radius.
  • Incorporation of a dorsal capsular interposition flap.

Main Results:

  • The presented PRC technique is technically straightforward.
  • Interposition tissue may reduce joint contact pressures.
  • Potential for improved long-term durability of the reconstructed joint.

Conclusions:

  • Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a viable option for wrist arthritis management.
  • Interposition tissue may enhance the durability of PRC.
  • Further research is needed to confirm long-term outcomes.
