Palmar midcarpal instability: results of surgical reconstruction.
Journal of Hand Surgery 1993 March
We reviewed the cases of 13 patients who underwent 15 surgical procedures for palmar midcarpal instability from 1981 to 1989. Six patients had a limited midcarpal arthrodesis, and nine patients had one of four different soft tissue reconstructive procedures. One hundred percent clinical follow-up was obtained at an average of 48 months. All six of the limited midcarpal arthrodeses were successful. Six of the nine soft tissue reconstructions failed. However, one procedure, a distal advancement of the ulnar arm of the arcuate ligament combined with a dorsal capsulodesis, restored stability in three of five wrists. We concluded that patients with palmar midcarpal instability may have significant disability that may be refractory to nonsurgical management. Limited midcarpal arthrodesis provides definitive treatment.
