Abstract
Arthrodesis of the distal radioulnar joint combined with the creation of a pseudarthrosis of the distal ulna is frequently referred to as the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure. This eponym is based on the 1936 report by Sauvé and Kapandji, which is believed to be the first report of this innovative technique. There has been some controversy regarding the origin of this procedure, with similar techniques described by Berry in 1930 and Steindler in 1932. This article examines the evolution of the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure and sheds light on the lives of James Allan Berry, Arthur Steindler, Louis de Gonzague Sauvé, and Mehmed Kapandji.
