The control cohort diagnoses included primary osteoarthritis of the carpus or wrist. All statistical calculations were performed using R version 4.2.2 (The R Foundation, Vienna, Austria). <b>Results</b> There were a total of 499 patients in the KD cohort and 6,823 patient controls. The KD cohort was significantly younger, had a greater proportion of females, and higher rates of obesity. The control cohort, on average, had more comorbidities as evidenced by the higher Elixhauser Index compared with the KD cohort. Overall revision rate for KD patients was 12% ( <i>n</i> = 59). None of the index procedures were more likely to be revised compared with wrist arthrodesis. Compared with the control cohort, patients with KD were less likely to undergo revision surgery. At 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year intervals, KD patients maintained a lower revision rate compared with controls. Risk factor for eventual revision included worker's compensation status and protective factors included older age, a diagnosis of Kienbock's, male sex, obesity, and higher Elixhauser Index. <b>Conclusion</b> In a large multi-institutional analysis, patients who underwent surgical treatment of KD experienced a lower revision rate over a 10-year period compared with arthritic controls. Compared with the single-institution cohorts published, the overall KD revision rate was higher (12%) but similar to the published literature, the KD revision rate is lower than the same procedures for non-KD controls. <b>Level of Evidence</b> Therapeutic, IV.</p>","PeriodicalId":46757,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wrist Surgery","volume":"14 3","pages":"262-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12088788/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144112297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radial shortening osteotomy (RSO) reduces radial height, thereby alleviating stress on the lunate. Conversely, radial closed wedge osteotomy (RCWO) involves removing a distal radius wedge to not only decrease radial height but also reduce radial inclination, thereby enhancing lunate coverage. <b>Description</b> This article outlines a straightforward and minimally invasive approach to RSO utilizing a single cut and stabilization with a single screw. Additionally, it introduces a technique for RCWO comprising two cuts, wedge removal from the distal radius, and fixation using a single headless screw. <b>Literature Review</b> Traditionally, RSO and RCWO procedures include a volar approach consistent with distal radius fracture fixation techniques. However, the reliance on \"free-hand\" cuts may necessitate larger hardware for stabilization. Overcorrection poses risks of suboptimal outcomes and often mandates subsequent hardware removal procedures. <b>Clinical Relevance</b> Both RSO and RCWO techniques offer minimally invasive solutions, which preserve the periosteum, and maintain stability. These techniques only require a single screw and a removable splint. RSO is indicated for KD wrists with negative ulnar variance, while RCWO is preferable for cases with negative ulnar variance and increased radial inclination.</p>","PeriodicalId":46757,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wrist Surgery","volume":"14 4","pages":"374-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12270559/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144676149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
