The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of arthroscopic lunate fossa resection arthroplasty for patients with Kienböck's disease, previously managed without operation, and a non-functional lunate fossa. For adult patients with relapse or exacerbation of pain from Kienböck's disease 2 years after the onset of symptoms, arthroscopic removal of lunate fossa cartilage was performed to reach bleeding bone, if the cartilage in the lunate fossa was non-functional and the scaphoid fossa was intact. Sixteen patients (mean age 35 years; range 27-56) were included. At a mean follow-up of 39 months (range 24-64), the preoperative mean visual analogue pain scale and QuickDASH score decreased from 7 (SD 2.2) and 50 (SD 16) to 1.4 (SD 1.6) and 13 (SD 9.6), respectively. A minor deterioration in mean radioscaphoid angle and carpal height ratio occurred. Arthroscopic lunate fossa resection arthroplasty is a viable option for selected patients with Kienböck's disease.

Outcomes of Proximal Row Carpectomy With Interposition Arthroplasty for Advanced Wrist Arthritis.
Hand (N Y)
November 2024
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the outcomes of proximal row carpectomy (PRC) with interposition arthroplasty using dorsal wrist capsule interposition, lateral meniscus allograft, or dermal allograft in patients with lunate facet/capitate degeneration.
Methods: Patients who underwent PRC with interposition arthroplasty between 2010 and 2022 at a single institution were identified. Preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain, functional outcomes, and complications were recorded.
Purpose: Distal radius fractures may include difficult-to-treat fractures of the volar ulnar corner, colloquially termed as the "critical corner." These fragments are problematic because they are often missed, and their fixation is difficult. We aimed to compare the distal extent of the exposure of the volar surface of the distal radius between the classic Henry approach and the extended flexor carpi radialis (EFCR) approach.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates why hip-preserving surgery in young patients often uncovers issues with the ligamentum teres, which may cause hip pain.
- The research introduces the concept of "fossa-foveolar mismatch" (FFM), comparing the movement of the fovea within the hip joint during daily activities.
- Results show high reliability in measuring this FFM using a computer-assisted 3D model, demonstrating strong consistency in evaluations between different observers.
Proximal row carpectomy with interposition arthroplasty using both capsular flap and acellular human dermal matrix.

Background: In cases of wrist arthritis, proximal row carpectomy (PRC) has been widely utilized and shown favorable long-term outcomes. However, its applicability is limited in cases where arthritis extends to the lunate fossa or capitate. Recently, surgical approaches combining various methods of interposition arthroplasty have been introduced to overcome these drawbacks.
