Total wrist denervation is more effective for pain relief than posterior interosseous nerve denervation alone. This study compared surgical techniques for wrist pain, finding total denervation superior for pain management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pain Management
  • Nerve Surgery

Background:

  • Wrist pain significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Surgical denervation aims to alleviate chronic wrist pain.
  • Different denervation techniques exist, including total wrist and posterior interosseous nerve procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of total wrist denervation versus posterior interosseous nerve denervation for wrist pain.
  • To evaluate surgical outcomes based on pain reduction, mobility, and strength.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 22 patients undergoing total wrist denervation (Wilhelm's technique).
  • Analysis of 30 patients undergoing posterior interosseous nerve denervation.
  • Pain assessment using the visual analogue scale (VAS).

  • Evaluation of mobility and strength as secondary outcome measures.

    • Main Results:

    • Pain relief was the primary outcome with statistical significance.
    • Total wrist denervation yielded better pain relief results compared to posterior interosseous nerve denervation.
    • No statistically significant differences were observed in mobility and strength between the groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Total wrist denervation is a more effective surgical treatment for wrist pain than isolated posterior interosseous nerve denervation.
    • Pain reduction is the most reliable indicator of successful surgical denervation for wrist pain.
