Abstract
Introduction
Ulnocarpal impaction syndrome causes pain on the ulnar side of the wrist. Various surgical techniques have been described. Ulnar shortening osteotomy is now a standard treatment. However, it is associated with complications such as non-union of the osteotomy site.
The main study objective was to report the rate of radiographic consolidation after ulnar shortening osteotomy with a cutting guide.
Material and methods
This multicenter retrospective study of 30 cases reported clinical and radiographic criteria at a minimum 6 month’s follow-up.
Results
The non-union rate was 3.4%. One case presented non-union of the osteotomy site. 87% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the procedure. Mean VAS pain rating was 2.7 ± 2.4. Mean QuickDASH and PRWE scores were 24.7 ± 19.2 and 28.6 ± 25. Mean strength on Jamar dynamometer was 27.4 ± 8.9 kg. One patient developed complex regional pain syndrome. Five patients required plate removal for hardware-related discomfort.
Discussion
Ulna shortening osteotomy with the Aptus Wrist plate provides a standardized approach to the surgical treatment of ulnocarpal impaction syndrome. Compared with other series in the literature, the procedure provided satisfactory consolidation and clinical results.
期刊介绍:
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
