Arthroscopic Wafer and Ulnar Shortening in Ulnar Abutment

May 26, 2017 updated by: Abd Elaziz Monsef Ali, Assiut University

Comparative Study Between Arthroscopic Wafer and Ulnar Shortening Osteotomy in Ulnar Abutment Syndrome

there are many management options of ulnocarpal abutment depends on clinical evaluation and imaging of this joint. Arthroscopic treatment is the simplest solution for these conditions.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: group 1
wafer group procedure using an arthroscope through portal(radial to extensor carpi ulnaris, debridement of triangular fibro-cartilage complex 3-4 mm is shaved from the dome of the ulna by 2.9 bur.
wrist arthroscopy and debridement of Triangular fibrocartilage and shortening of the head ulna by burr
Active Comparator: group 2
ulnar shortening group :this is the most logical technique, dorsoulnar incision is made on the distal one-third of the forearm then a 6 hole 3.5 mm Dcp plate is position,osteotomy using oscillating saw in z-shaped manner.
wrist arthroscopy,debride debridement of Triangular fibrocartilage and shortening of the ulna by osteotomy and plate
