Proximal row carpectomy offers significant pain relief and return to activity for radiocarpal joint disorders. This wrist surgery improved range of motion and grip strength, addressing common concerns.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand and Wrist Surgery

Background:

  • Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) for radiocarpal joint disorders is debated.
  • Concerns include grip strength loss, limited motion, and arthritis development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of PRC.
  • To address concerns regarding functional deficits and arthritis after PRC.

Main Methods:

  • A study of 27 patients undergoing PRC.
  • Average follow-up of 4 years.
  • Radiographic analysis of carpal bone curvature and motion.

Main Results:

  • 26 of 27 patients achieved pain relief.
  • 24 patients returned to prior activity levels within 4.5 months.

  • Range of motion met or exceeded preoperative values; grip strength averaged 80% of the contralateral side.

    • Conclusions:

    • PRC can provide successful pain relief and functional recovery for radiocarpal joint disorders.
    • Translational motion between the capitate and radius may explain the procedure's success.
