Abstract:
A technique and new instruments for intramedullary fixation of the wrist arthrodesis is described, based on the technique of Clayton, popularized by Nalebuff and Millender. This allows early mobilisation, secure fixation and simplicity of the technique. It also allows other surgical procedures to be performed under the same anaesthetic and tourniquet due to the reduction in operative time.
