Lunocapitate fusion with scaphoid excision for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse or scapho-lunate advanced collapse wrist

Abstract

Through our investigation and findings, we conclude that lunocapitate fusion can restore a functional and almost pain-free wrist. Moreover, these results were maintained at follow-up sessions, with complication rates being similar to those of previous studies. These results conclude a satisfactory therapeutic alternative to four-corner fusion for advanced degenerative osteoarthritis of wrists.
