| Title | Ulnar-sided wrist pain after four-corner fusion in a previously-asymptomatic ulnar positive wrist: a case report. | | Author(s) | Gong HS, Jeon SH, Baek GH | | Institution | Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea. hsgong@snu.ac.kr. | | Source | Hand Surg 2009; 14(1):49-51. | | Abstract | Scaphoid excision and four-corner fusion is one of the treatment choices for patients who have stage II or III SLAC (scapholunate advanced collapse)/SNAC (scaphoid non-union advanced collapse) wrist arthritis. We report a case of ulnar-sided wrist pain which occurred after four-corner fusion for stage II SNAC wrist with a previously-asymptomatic ulnar positive variance, and was successfully treated by ulnar shortening osteotomy. This case highlights a possible coincidental pathology of the ulnocarpal joint in the setting of post-traumatic radiocarpal arthrosis. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
