Disk lesion of the wrist joint

Thirty-three patients with lesions of the articular disk of the wrist joint were treated. Predictability of results is best when there is an isolated lesion without osteoarthritis or severe dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. However, good results can be obtained in combined injuries (for example, after a Colles' fracture). Thirty of the thirty-three patients were satisfied with the results of their operation.
