Abstract
- The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of capitolunate arthrodesis for treating advanced wrist osteoarthritis. The arthrodesis procedures were performed in three women and seven men having a mean age of 59years (range, 20-70). Eight of the patients were manual laborers. The dominant hand was operated on in seven patients. The osteoarthritis was attributed to scapholunate dissociation (SLAC) in six patients and scaphoid nonunion (SNAC) in four patients. The arthrodesis site was stabilized with two vertical compression screws. Patients were reviewed after an average follow-up of 122months (80-172). The clinical and radiological outcomes consisted of measuring pain on a visual analog scale (VAS), determining the QuickDASH and PRWE scores, the patients' satisfaction, the radiolunate and capitolunate angles, carpal height, radiolunate joint condition, and fusion of the arthrodesis site. The mean pain level was reduced from 5 to 1 (P
