Scaphoid Excision and Midcarpal Arthrodesis: The Effect of Triquetral Excision—A Biomechanical Study
چکیده انگلیسی

PurposeTo evaluate the biomechanical alterations that occur after traditional scaphoid excision and midcarpal arthrodesis with and without excision of the triquetrum. The hypothesis of this study was that removal of the triquetrum increases the radiolunate contact pressure.MethodsWe cyclically moved 10 fresh cadaver wrists using a wrist joint motion simulator while measuring the contact pressures between the proximal carpal row and the distal radius and ulna using a dynamic pressure sensor. We acquired data in the intact wrist, after a midcarpal arthrodesis with the scaphoid excised, and then again with the triquetrum removed, which is also known as a capitolunate arthrodesis.ResultsThe peak pressures in the radiolunate fossa significantly increased with either of the midcarpal arthrodeses compared with the intact wrist during each of the 3 dynamic wrist motions. In comparing the 2 midcarpal arthrodeses, the peak pressure in the ulnocarpal fossa significantly decreased after the triquetrum was removed during wrist radioulnar deviation and in the static ulnarly deviated position. After arthrodesis, we could identify no differences during any motion or static wrist position in the peak radiolunate pressures with or without the triquetrum.ConclusionsWe found that scaphoid excision and 4-corner arthrodesis shifts loads to the radiolunate joint. Isolated capitolunate arthrodesis with excision of the scaphoid and triquetrum further alters carpal kinematics and loading patterns.Clinical relevanceThese findings raise concern about routine excision of the triquetrum when performing a midcarpal arthrodesis.
