Instabilities of the wrist.

H K Watson, D M Black

    Hand Clinics
    |February 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Carpal instability, often caused by ligament damage, can be effectively treated with limited wrist arthrodesis. This procedure reliably transfers load to the radius, preserving motion and preventing further joint damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Hand Surgery
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Carpal instability stems from ligamentous wrist injuries.
    • Specific patterns of carpal instability are frequently observed.
    • Current ligamentous reconstructions are often inadequate due to bone shape and forces.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate limited wrist arthrodesis for carpal instability.
    • To determine if load can be reliably transferred from the capitate to the radius.
    • To assess if functional motion is preserved without stressing normal joints.

    Main Methods:

    • Limited wrist arthrodesis procedure.
    • Analysis of carpal bone loading and displacement mechanics.
    • Evaluation of joint stress and functional motion post-procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Limited wrist arthrodesis effectively transfers load from the capitate to the radius.
    • The procedure reliably preserves functional wrist motion.
    • It avoids stressing normal joints, unlike other reconstructions.

    Conclusions:

    • Limited wrist arthrodesis is a viable treatment for carpal instability.
    • It addresses the biomechanical challenges of wrist bone loading.
    • This method helps prevent degenerative arthritis associated with radial side instabilities.
