This study assessed the functional and radiological results of partial capitate shortening osteotomy in the treatment of Lichtman stage 2 and 3A Kienböck's disease. Nineteen patients who underwent partial capitate shortening osteotomy between 2014 and 2017 were included. Functional and radiological parameters were assessed both pre- and postoperatively. The mean age was 35 years and the mean follow-up was 16 months. Pain scores, wrist range of motion, hand and finger strength, carpal height ratio and lunate height were significantly improved compared with their preoperative values. Sixteen patients were able to return to work. Ten of them had complete and six had partial revascularization. The mean time taken to return to work was 62 days. No vascularity was achieved in three patients who were unable to return to work. Partial capitate shortening osteotomy is effective in the treatment of stage 2 and 3A Kienböck's disease with successful results both functionally and radiologically. IV.

Partial capitate shortening osteotomy represents a feasible surgical approach to reduce load distribution to the lunate in Kienböck disease, with preservation of the scaphoid-capitate articular surface. A surgical procedure, presented here, entails arthroscopic partial resection of the proximal capitate articular surface to alleviate pressure on the lunate.

Species of generally grow in the tropics and are characterised by small, slender basidiomes, brown basidiospores, and cheilocystidia that vary in shape with capitate or subcapitate apex, and pigmented pileipellis. Based on morphological characters and molecular evidence, here we describe seven new species from southern China, viz. , , , , , , and , a species recently described from Vietnam, was first recorded in China.

Article Synopsis
- Non-dissociative carpal instability (CIND) is linked to the destabilization of the scapho-trapezial-trapezoidal (STT) ligament complex, which can cause significant functional impairment.
- In a study involving cadaver arms, researchers performed scaphoid pole resections and trapeziectomies, using CT scans to measure the movement of wrist bones in various positions.
- Results indicated that total trapeziectomy and distal scaphoid pole resection led to noticeable dissociation between the proximal and distal carpal rows, particularly when the fist was clenched, confirming that these procedures contribute to CIND without causing instability in the carpal rows themselves.
The use of resurfacing capitate pyrocarbon implants (RCPI) in chronic diseases of the wrist: outcomes of more than 100 cases.

Introduction: In advanced chronic post-traumatic wrist pathology, the goal of surgery has always been to reduce pain while trying to preserve the function of the wrist itself as much as possible; numerous interventions have been developed to achieve these goals (partial arthrodesis, 4-angle arthrodesis, the use of prosthetic implants…).
Purposes: The purpose of the study is to evaluate outcomes and complications rate of proximal row carpectomy associated with the resurfacing capitate pyrocarbon implant (RCPI) for chronic diseases of the wrist.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the patients operated on between June 2004 and March 2021 was performed.
Scapho-luno-capitate fusion with proximal lunate articular surface preservation for management of grade IIIA Kienböck's disease: a prospective case series.

Background: Kienböck's disease is idiopathic lunate avascular necrosis, which may lead to lunate collapse, abnormal carpal motion and wrist arthritis. The current study aimed to assess the outcomes of treating stage IIIA Kienböck's disease by a novel technique of limited carpal fusion via partial lunate excision with preservation of the proximal lunate surface and scapho-luno-capitate (SLC) fusion.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective study of patients with grade IIIA Kienböck's disease managed with a novel technique of limited carpal fusion comprising SLC fusion with preservation of the proximal lunate articular cartilage.
