The Sauve-Kapandji procedure for reconstruction of the rheumatoid distal radioulnar joint.

Our experience with the Sauve-Kapandji procedure for reconstruction of the rheumatoid distal radioulnar joint is reported. Twenty-one wrists in 17 patients were followed for an average of 39 months postoperatively. Average range of motion at follow-up evaluation was pronation to 78 degrees and supination to 86 degrees. X-ray films demonstrated that significant ulnarward and palmarward translocation of the carpus was prevented. The Sauve-Kapandji procedure provides a stable ulnar side support in the rheumatoid wrist with distal radioulnar degeneration.
