    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand and Wrist Surgery

    Background:

    • Limited wrist arthrodesis is a surgical procedure for localized wrist conditions.
    • It serves as an alternative to complete wrist fusion for specific degenerative changes or instability in the carpus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and applications of limited wrist arthrodesis.
    • To present a historical overview of limited wrist arthrodesis cases since 1968.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 38 limited wrist arthrodesis procedures performed on 36 patients since 1968.
    • Analysis of the extent of fusion, including carpal bones, radius, and index metacarpal.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-four cases involved carpal bones only, with 14 being "triskaphe" (scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid) arthrodeses.

  • Eleven cases included the radius, and 3 involved the index metacarpal.

    • Conclusions:

    • Limited wrist arthrodesis effectively addresses localized wrist pathology.
    • The procedure offers pain relief and maintains a functional range of motion, making it a viable alternative to complete wrist fusion.
