This retrospective observational study evaluated outcomes after hemi-hamate arthroplasty. A palmar cortical step caused by the osteochondral graft was associated with reduced proximal interphalangeal joint range of motion compared to a flush palmar cortex at early follow-up (62° vs. 83°; p = 0.006).
