[Treatment of scaphoido-trapezial arthrosis by arthrodesis using small-size Ender plates]

Authors have performed in the treatment of arthrosic complaints a scaphoideo-trapezial arthrodesis. The axial compression was reached with the application of small Ender plates without damaging the articular surface of the neighbouring small joints of the wrist. In the literature, describing the scaphoideo-trapezial arthrodesis, no similar operative technique was found.
