AI Article Synopsis
- Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the capitate is a rare and difficult-to-treat wrist lesion, particularly in children.
- A 12-year-old girl underwent a wide excision of the GCT, along with treatments like hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and bone grafting.
- After 8 years, the patient showed no signs of tumor recurrence or wrist degeneration, suggesting the surgical approach was effective despite some changes in wrist movement.
Article Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of capitate is a rare lesion that is challenging to treat. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl suffering from a GCT of the capitate. Wide excision combined with adjuvant treatment including hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, tricortical bone grafting, and limited midcarpal and carpometacarpal fusion achieved good functional result without evidence of tumor recurrence or radiocarpal degeneration at 8 years postoperatively. In this case with long-term follow-up, surgical treatment of capitate GCT with limited midcarpal and carpometacarpal fusion led to a satisfactory outcome despite the alteration of wrist kinematics.

Introduction: Perilunate dislocations (PLD) and perilunate fracture-dislocations (PLFD) are high-energy wrist injuries often linked to significant post-traumatic osteoarthritis. This study aims to determine whether PLD and PLFD yield different radiological outcomes following surgical treatment while identifying prognostic factors for worse outcomes.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 51 patients treated for perilunate injuries between 2000 and 2022.

Purpose: The indications for distal scaphoid excision are limited to localized wrist arthritis surrounding the scaphoid, as a result of scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse or scapho-trapezio-trapezoid joint arthritis. The procedure historically has led to relief of symptoms and improvement in strength. Our aim was to examine the outcomes of this procedure in patients with scaphoid fracture nonunion.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two surgical procedures (lunate-capitate fusion and four-corner fusion) for treating advanced wrist injuries known as SNAC II and III, focusing on functional and radiological outcomes and complications.
- It includes a retrospective analysis of 65 patients who underwent surgery between 2015 and 2024, with a follow-up of at least two years, and compares the outcomes of the two fusion techniques.
- Results showed that both groups experienced functional improvements post-surgery and had similar average healing times, indicating that both procedures could be effective in addressing SNAC injuries.

Purpose: Both scaphoid non-union advanced collapse wrist (SNAC) and scapho-lunate advanced collapse wrist (SLAC) at stage II-III are common indications for limited wrist fusions including four-corners fusion (4CF) and three-corners fusion (3CF). The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients undergoing 3CF vs. 4CF.

Case: Capitate avascular necrosis should be entertained in a differential diagnosis of young, active adults with midcarpal wrist pain. We present a case study of a 30-year-old laborer who developed avascular necrosis (AVN) of his right proximal capitate. Grip strength and wrist motion were limited on examination, with advanced imaging confirming AVN.
