| Abstract [eng] |
Longstanding and untreatet scaphoid nonunion leads to painful destruction of the wrist with carpal collapse (scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse). The severity of degenerative arthrosis is classified into three stages and can be treated operatively. The reconstruction of the scaphoid or scapholunate ligament in stages II and III is not a reasonable option. With complete excision of the scaphoid and fusion of the midcarpal joint, all arthritic joint surfaces are eliminated and motion is preserved in the radiolunate joint, which is usually spared of degenerative changes. |
