Osteochondral allografting (OCA) provides a new surgical option for recurrent wrist pain after proximal row carpectomy (PRC). This salvage procedure can relieve chronic pain while preserving wrist motion.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Musculoskeletal Research
Background:
- Recurrent wrist pain after proximal row carpectomy (PRC) has limited treatment options, often leading to total wrist arthrodesis (TWA).
- Osteochondral allografting (OCA) is an emerging technique for cartilage restoration, previously successful in other joints.
- The use of OCA for refractory wrist pain following PRC has not been previously reported.
