Ulnocarpal abutment or the ulnocarpal impaction syndrome occurs when excessive loads exist between the distal ulna and ulnar carpus. This overloading occurs as a result of the distal ulnar articular surface being more distal than the ulnar articular surface of the distal radius. This situation has been termed positive ulnar variance, and it can quickly lead to ulnar-sided wrist degenerative changes and functional losses. Patients often have vague, ulnar-sided complaints of chronic pain and swelling with an insidious onset that does not correlate with any specific traumatic event. Many procedures have been developed to alleviate this condition, but the gold standard for correcting positive ulnar variance is the ulnar shortening osteotomy. The goals of the shortening procedure are to relieve pain and prevent arthritis by reestablishing a neutral or slightly negative ulnar variance. We describe a new plate and compression system in which an oblique ulnar diaphyseal osteotomy is both completed and stabilized through the same jig-based system. 相似文献

The ulnar impaction syndrome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ulnar impaction syndrome can be defined as the impaction of the ulnar head against the triangular fibrocartilage complex and ulnar carpus resulting in progressive degeneration of those structures. The differential diagnosis in patients who present with ulnar wrist pain and limitation of motion can also include ulnar impingement syndrome and arthrosis or incongruity of the distal radioulnar joint. Structural abnormalities involving the distal radioulnar joint, distal radius, and ulnar carpus must be carefully elucidated prior to developing a treatment plan. When such abnormalities are identified and appropriately addressed, surgical treatment can be expected to be effective in the majority of cases. It is important to remember that in the absence of obvious structural abnormalities, the ulnar impaction syndrome may result from daily activities that result in excessive intermittent loading of the ulnar carpus. In this group of patients, treatment is directed at decreasing ulnar load by shortening the distal ulna in any of several ways. If relative instability of the ulnar ligamentous complex is a factor, then ulnar shortening by recession is the treatment of choice. Malunion of the distal radius resulting in ulnar impaction syndrome is best treated by addressing the deformity; that is, corrective radial osteotomy. Patients who present with a combination of ulnar impaction syndrome along with distal radioulnar joint, abnormalities must have both of these abnormalities addressed at the time of surgery. The matched ulnar resection and the hemiresection interposition arthroplasty are both effective procedures; however, the Suave-Kapandji procedure also can be used to address relative ligamentous laxity at the ulnar aspect of the wrist. The Darrach procedure is presently not recommended as a first-line treatment in these cases; however, when used as a salvage procedure, satisfactory results can be obtained in properly selected patients. Careful preoperative evaluation and planning are therefore the key to successful treatment of the ulnar impaction syndrome. 相似文献

Ulnar impaction syndrome is a common source of ulnar-sided wrist pain. It is a degenerative condition that occurs secondary to excessive load across the ulnocarpal joint, resulting in a spectrum of pathologic changes and symptoms. It may occur in any wrist but is usually associated with positive ulnar variance, whether congenital or acquired. The diagnosis of ulnar impaction syndrome is made by clinical examination and is supported by radiographic studies. Surgery is indicated if nonoperative treatment fails. Although a number of alternatives exist, the 2 primary surgical options are ulnar-shortening osteotomy or partial resection of the distal dome of the ulna (wafer procedure). This article discusses the etiology of ulnar impaction syndrome, and its diagnosis and treatment. 相似文献

To make clear the kinematics of the wrist in flexion-extension and radial-ulnar deviation, a cineradiographic study was carried out on twenty normal hands. The intercarpal angles were measured on each picture of the cineradiogram. The relationship between the wrist angle and the intercarpal angles were calculated by a micro-computer giving a 5th degree regression curve. From the maximal dorsiflexion to the neutral position, the wrist moves in the radiocarpal joint more than in the midcarpal joint, while, from the neutral position to the maximal palmar flexion, the wrist moves more in the latter. From the neutral position to the maximal radial deviation, the wrist motion occurs in the midcarpal joint more than in the radiocarpal joint, while, from the neutral position to maximal ulnar deviation, the wrist motion occurs equally in the two joints. The movements of the carpal bones were regulated by the tension and the relaxation of the carpal ligaments. 相似文献

Arthroplasties for the wrist with rheumatoid arthritis are usually revised for the articulation between radius and carpus. The midcarpal joint is disregarded although it remains structurally better preserved and is therefore better suited for the preservation of stable motion. When the midcarpal surfaces are satisfactory, a radio-scapho-lunate fusion, accompanied by a midcarpal synovectomy, is an excellent procedure. When the midcarpal surfaces, particularly the head of the capitate, are also destroyed, the tendency has been to either perform a pan-arthrodesis, or to insert a wrist endo-prosthesis. For these severely unstable and destroyed wrists, a stabilization of the radiocarpal joint by arthrodesis, combined with preservation of motion at the midcarpal level by resection of the damaged head of the capitate and its replacement with a small implant has been done. This procedure has allowed all patients to retain a functional range of motion and to experience satisfactory relief of pain. 相似文献

The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), the ulnocarpal joint and the ulnar carpus form an functional anatomical complex, as the head of the ulna is an articulated part of DRUJ as well as having a stabilising action and acting as an abutment due to its direct attachment to the triangular fibrocartilage complex. Pain in this area poses a diagnostic problem due to the close proximity of these structures. In addition to describing the standard clinical examination, the major pathologies of these ulnar hand components, their symptomatology and the basis of their therapy are discussed. 相似文献

Ulnar impaction syndrome occurs in the setting of a central traumatic or degenerative defect in the triangular fibrocartilage complex in patients with ulnar positive variance. Chondral and subchondral edema, mechanical impingement of the articular disc, and chondromalacia of the distal ulna, proximal lunate, and proximal triquetrum produce symptoms with activity that do not improve with rest. Decreasing ulnocarpal load-sharing across the wrist with recession of the distal ulna is necessary to relieve symptoms in the majority of patients. Arthroscopic treatment with triangular fibrocartilage complex debridement and arthroscopic ulnar wafer resection is an effective treatment for ulnar impaction syndrome. It affords a single-stage, minimally invasive approach, with similar efficacy and fewer complications than open wafer resection or ulnar shortening osteotomy. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To apply carpal kinematic analysis using noninvasive medical imaging to investigate the midcarpal and radiocarpal contributions to wrist flexion and extension in a quasidynamic in vitro model. METHODS: Eight fresh-frozen cadaver wrists were scanned with computed tomography in neutral, full flexion, and full extension. Body-mass-based local coordinate systems were used to track motion of the capitate, lunate, and scaphoid with the radius as a fixed reference. Helical axis motion parameters and Euler angles were calculated for flexion and extension. RESULTS: Minimal out-of-plane carpal motion was noted with the exception of small amounts of ulnar deviation and supination in flexion. Overall wrist flexion was 68 degrees +/- 12 degrees and extension was 50 degrees +/- 12 degrees. In flexion, 75% of wrist motion occurred at the radioscaphoid joint, and 50% occurred at the radiolunate joint. In extension, 92% of wrist motion occurred at the radioscaphoid joint, and 52% occurred at the radiolunate joint. Midcarpal flexion/extension between the capitate and scaphoid was 0 degrees +/- 5 degrees in extension and 10 degrees +/- 13 degrees in flexion. Midcarpal flexion/extension between the capitate and lunate was larger, with 15 degrees +/- 11 degrees in extension and 22 degrees +/- 19 degrees in flexion. CONCLUSIONS: The capitate and scaphoid tend to move together. This results in greater flexion/extension for the scaphoid than the lunate at the radiocarpal joint. The lunate has greater midcarpal motion between it and the capitate than the scaphoid does with the capitate. The engagement between the scaphoid and capitate is particularly evident during wrist extension. Out-of-plane motion was primarily ulnar deviation at the radiocarpal joint during flexion. These results are clinically useful in understanding the consequences of isolated fusions in the treatment of wrist instability. 相似文献

Ulnar impaction syndrome is a common cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain that is thought to be a result of abutment between the ulna and the ulnar carpus. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to determine the effectiveness of different treatment options in managing ulnar impaction syndrome. PubMed, the Cochrane database, and secondary references were reviewed to identify all English-language articles with reported results on the treatment of ulnar impaction syndrome. A total of 16 articles met the criteria for review. Three procedures were identified as the most commonly used in treating this syndrome: ulnar shortening osteotomy, the wafer procedure, and the arthroscopic wafer procedure. Mean time to union and percentage nonunion for the osteotomy group was 10.3 weeks and 1.7%, respectively. The overall complication rate for patients in the ulnar shortening osteotomy group, the wafer procedure group, and the arthroscopic wafer group was 30%, 8.8%, and 21%, respectively. The authors were unable to determine a single best treatment option based on the available studies, mainly due to the variability in the reporting of subjective outcome measures. Ulnar shortening osteotomy was associated with a higher complication rate than other procedures. 相似文献

Kinematics of the midcarpal and radiocarpal joints in radioulnar deviation: an in vitro study 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

PURPOSE: Carpal kinematics have been studied widely yet remain difficult to understand fully. The noninvasive measurement of carpal kinematics through medical imaging has become popular. Studies have shown that with radial deviation the scaphoid and lunate flex whereas the capitate moves radiodorsally relative to the lunate. This study investigated the midcarpal and radiocarpal contributions to radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist. This was accomplished through noninvasive characterization of the scaphoid, lunate, and capitate using 3-dimensional medical imaging of the wrist in radial and ulnar deviation. METHODS: Eight fresh-frozen and thawed cadaveric wrists were used in an experimental set-up that positioned the wrist through spring-scale actuation of the 4 wrist flexor and extensor tendon groups. The wrists were scanned by computed tomography in neutral and full radial and ulnar deviation. Body mass-based local coordinate systems were used to track the motion of the capitate, lunate, and scaphoid with the radius as a fixed reference. Helical axis motion and Euler angles were calculated from neutral to radial and ulnar deviation for the capitate relative to the radius, lunate, and scaphoid and for the lunate and scaphoid relative to the radius. RESULTS: The capitate, scaphoid, and lunate moved in a characteristic manner relative to the radius and to one another. Radial and ulnar deviation occurred primarily in the midcarpal joint. Midcarpal motion accounted for 60% of radial deviation and 86% of ulnar deviation. In radial deviation the proximal row flexed and the capitate extended; the converse was true in ulnar deviation. CONCLUSIONS: Radioulnar deviation (in-plane motion) occurred mostly through the midcarpal joint, with a lesser contribution from the radiocarpal joint. The results of our study agree with previous investigations that found the scaphoid and lunate flex in radial deviation (out-of-plane motion) relative to the radius whereas the capitate extends (out-of-plane motion) relative to the scaphoid/lunate (with the converse occurring in ulnar deviation). Our study shows how these out-of-plane motions combine to produce in-plane wrist radioulnar deviation. The use of 3-dimensional visualization greatly aids in the understanding of these motions. The results of our study may be useful clinically in understanding the consequences of isolated midcarpal fusions in the treatment of wrist instability. 相似文献

We have measured the three-dimensional patterns of carpal deformity in 20 wrists in 20 rheumatoid patients in which the carpal bones were shifted ulnarwards on plain radiography. Three-dimensional bone models of the carpus and radius were created by computerised tomography with the wrist in the neutral position. The location of the centroids and rotational angle of each carpal bone relative to the radius were calculated and compared with those of ten normal wrists. In the radiocarpal joint, the proximal row was flexed and the centroids of all carpal bones translocated in an ulnar, proximal and volar direction with loss of congruity. In the midcarpal joint, the distal row was extended and congruity generally well preserved. These findings may facilitate more positive use of radiocarpal fusion alone for the deformed rheumatoid wrist. 相似文献

Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is an established surgical procedure used to treat post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the wrist with sparing of the midcarpal joint and advanced aseptic necrosis such as lunatomalacia. Proximalization of the distal carpal row following PRC may lead to secondary problems such as radiocarpal impingement. At follow-up, two of our patients complained about ulnar-sided wrist pain after proximal row carpectomy. Computed tomography (CT) scans were taken for both patients with an additional magnetic resonance imaging scan for one patient. The CT scan revealed clear osteolysis consistent with a pisiform bone impingement on the ulnar styloid process in both the cases, and also on the hamate in one patient. An impingement syndrome of this nature has not previously been described and should be kept in mind when patients report ulnocarpal symptoms after PRC. 相似文献

Positive ulnar variance affects surgical decision making when ulnar wrist pain is refractory to conservative treatment and is either secondary to a posttraumatic triangular fibrocartilage tear or associated with ulnar impaction syndrome. In such settings, ulnar recession may be necessary to diminish load transmission across the ulnocarpal joint. We present a case of a 24-year-old man with chronic right ulnar wrist pain that illustrates the efficacy of the pronated-grip radiograph in assessing dynamic ulnar positive variance. 相似文献

Sixty-two patients underwent resection of the distal ulna because of pain or limited motion after wrist trauma. The median length of resection was 23 mm. Injury to the distal radioulnar joint occurred primarily during fractures of the distal radius. Followup time averaged 87 months. The primary surgical indication was pain, but some procedures were performed in an effort to increase motion. All patients improved after surgery. Three patients had residual pain, 25 had mild pain, and 34 had no pain. Supination was greatly improved, with only modest improvement in other wrist motions. Four patients developed ulnar translation of the carpus (from 1 to 3 mm). Pseudoarticulation and ulnar regrowth of the carpus were noted, but neither pseudoarticulation nor regrowth was clinically symptomatic. Grip strength improved significantly after surgery, the average from 45.3 to 78.9% of the unaffected wrist. The presence or absence of radiocarpal arthritis preoperatively had no significant effect on the patients' estimates of results. Overall, 51 patients (82%) had satisfactory results. The primary gains were pain relief, increased supination, and increased strength. 相似文献

The last 100 patients to have wrist arthrography at our institution had, in addition to the standard radiocarpal joint injection, injections into the distal radioulnar joint and midcarpal joint. Seventy-seven of the 100 patients had abnormal arthrograms. In 29 cases abnormalities not identified by the radiocarpal joint injection were demonstrated either by the distal radioulnar joint or the midcarpal joint injection. In 38 patients abnormalities shown by radiocarpal joint injection were not demonstrable by the other two injections. Seven detachments of the triangular fibrocartilage complex from the ulnar styloid could be demonstrated only by the distal radioulnar joint injection. The midcarpal joint injection was far more useful than the radiocarpal joint injection in the evaluation of radiocarpal joint-midcarpal joint communications. All three injections appear to be necessary for a complete arthrographic evaluation. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess wrist pain, range of motion, and the presence of radiographic midcarpal degenerative joint disease (DJD) in patients who had a distal scaphoidectomy in association to a radioscapholunate (RSL) arthrodesis and to compare these findings with prior studies of patients with only an RSL fusion. METHODS: Sixteen patients with radiocarpal DJD treated by RSL arthrodesis and distal scaphoidectomy were evaluated retrospectively for pain relief and range of motion at an average follow-up period of 37 months (range, 12-84 mo). Radiographs were assessed for the presence of secondary radiographic midcarpal DJD. RESULTS: Complete pain relief was obtained in 10 patients, 3 patients complained of slight pain during strenuous loading, and 3 patients had occasional pain with regular activities. The average postoperative ranges of motion were 32 degrees of flexion, 35 degrees of extension, 14 degrees of radial deviation, and 19 degrees of ulnar deviation. Two patients exhibited secondary midcarpal DJD. These results are significantly better compared with those previously published about RSL arthrodesis alone in terms of residual pain and decrease of wrist radial deviation and flexion. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who require an RSL arthrodesis for the treatment of severe localized radiocarpal DJD appear to have less pain and to retain more flexion and radial deviation if the distal scaphoid is excised concomitantly. This associated procedure also may help prevent secondary midcarpal DJD. 相似文献

Ulnar shortening osteotomy was performed in 11 wrists with ulnar abutment syndrome, after failed arthroscopic surgery on the TFCC (ten debridements, one repair). A delayed union was present in three, a non-union occurred in two, of whom one needed a revision and grafting procedure. According to the Mayo wrist score, only four had an acceptable outcome. Patient's satisfaction was higher: seven were satisfied, four were not. The postoperative wrist pain score was good in ten patients. Overall outcome was not very successful. Problems related to the procedure could be avoided by adapting the technique (oblique osteotomy, palmar placement of the plate, and compression devices). The key statement remains however to us; ulnar sided wrist pain thought to be caused by an ulnar abutment is not necessarily resolved by decompressing the ulnocarpal joint. 相似文献

The ulnar head has a central function in stabilizing the wrist. In the treatment of caput ulnae syndrome, the radiocarpal joint must, therefore, always be considered. The integrity of the ulnar head and TFCC are of major importance for the rheumatoid wrist. Therefore, surgical treatment should be carried out early, and is indicated for drug-resistant synovitis and monarthritis of the wrist. Early synovectomy of the radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) can be done as an open procedure or, when extensor tendon synovitis is absent, as an arthroscopic procedure. In most cases, however, treatment of manifest caput ulnae syndrome, sometimes even with rupture of the extensor tendons, is necessary. In these cases, resection of the ulnar head together with a dorsal wrist stabilization is indicated. Less often, arthrodesis of the DRUJ with segmental resection of the ulna or an arthroplasty are indicated. When choosing the procedure, the type and stage of wrist changes have to be considered. The DRUJ usually has to be treated together with the radiocarpal joint. Its isolated treatment is rarely indicated. 相似文献
