We report on the clinical history of a young male laborer with Lichtman Stage II Kienbock disease, who underwent a scaphocapitate arthrodesis after a failed silicone lunate prosthesis. After 35 years of follow-up, no further surgical intervention has been warranted despite progression of radiocarpal and ulnocarpal arthritis.

Scaphocapitate Arthrodesis for Wrist Deformities: A Systematic Review.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
October 2024
From the Department of Hand Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, Calif.
Background: Scaphocapitate arthrodesis (SCA) is a described technique for chronic wrist pathology such as Kienbock disease and carpal instability. The technique aims to preserve motion, while maintaining carpal height, preserving the radioscaphoid articulation, and offloading the lunate. Limited case series evaluate the outcomes of this previously described technique.

Purpose: The study evaluated the efficacy of SC arthrodesis with lunate preservation for treating patients diagnosed with stage IIIB or IIIC Kienböck's disease, who also exhibit neutral ulnar variance. The study further aimed to explore potential variations in outcomes between patients diagnosed with stage IIIB and IIIC Kienböck's disease.
Methods: Thirty-two patients diagnosed with stage IIIB (n = 19) and stage IIIC (n = 13) Kienböck's disease underwent SC arthrodesis with distal radius bone grafting stabilised by Herbert compression screws.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Altering wrist biomechanics, Kienbock's disease leads to progressive carpal collapse that results in early arthritis and degenerative changes. By shifting the loading axis toward the radioscaphoid joint, scaphocapitate arthrodesis (SCA) has been reported as a salvage procedure effective in treating symptomatic patients with advanced Kienbock's disease. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic SCA in symptomatic patients with advanced stages of Kienbock's disease.

Background: The all-dorsal scapholunate reconstruction technique is indicated for the treatment of scapholunate injuries in cases in which the carpus is reducible and there is no arthrosis present. The goal of this procedure is to reconstruct the torn dorsal portion of the scapholunate ligament in order to stabilize the scaphoid and lunate.
Description: A standard dorsal approach to the wrist, extending from the third metacarpal distally to the distal radioulnar joint, is utilized.
