Abstract
Purpose: Scaphocapitate fusion (SCF) is an important surgical option for carpal pathologies, which are difficult to manage as Kienböck's disease. With the advantages of arthroscopy combined with percutaneous fixation techniques, arthroscopic scaphocapitate fusion can have the best outcome for the patient from a functional perspective. This study aims to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and functional results of arthroscopic SCF.
Methods: The study included thirty patients with stage IIIB and IIIC Kienböck's disease. The articular surfaces were prepared using arthroscopic burr then fixed by Herbert screw. The mean follows up period was about 29 months.
Results: SCF was achieved in approximately seven weeks. There was a statistically significant difference in pre- and post-operative grip strength and Mayo wrist score.
Conclusion: According to our study findings, arthroscopic SCF may be performed with significant improvements and satisfactory clinical and functional results in patients with stage IIIB and IIIC Kienböck's disease.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
