[Necrosis of the semilunar bone--what is possible in ambulatory operations?].

Abstract

The author has been operating on cases of lunatum necrose using all usual operating methods, excluding attached vessel pisiforme transfer, increasingly over the past 9 years without an overnight stay in hospital being necessary for patients. Depending on the quality of the structure, we have not experienced any disadvantages in comparison to hospitalised patients. Regarding funding: The costs of these operations are covered and are justifiable in combination with additional hand operations within the outpatients department.
