The Journal of Hand Surgery, 10/06/09
Gaston RG et al. – Capitolunate arthrodesis compares favorably to 4–corner arthrodesis at an average 3–year follow–up in this series with respect to range of motion, grip strength, DASH scores, and VAS. Advantages of capitolunate arthrodesis include a lessened need for bone graft harvesting while maintaining a similarly low nonunion rate, easier reduction of the lunate following triquetral excision, and avoiding subsequent symptomatic pisotriquetral arthritis. Screw migration, however, remains a concern with this technique.
