The Journal of Hand Surgery Apr 19, 2021
Hassebrock JD, Thomas OJ, Breuer LC, et al. - This study was carried out to examine patient-reported outcomes and range of motion in a cohort of patients who underwent wrist denervation for advanced wrist osteoarthritis. Researchers assumed that improvements in pain and function would be seen with a preserved range of motion. Researchers included 30 individuals who had undergone wrist denervation for symptomatic stage 1–4 scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) arthritis. They evaluated Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score, and range of motion measurements preoperatively and at final follow-up. For patients with symptomatic SLAC wrist osteoarthritis to preserve motion, decrease pain, and increase function with a low absolute failure rate at mid-to-long-term follow-up. It has been reported that this procedure of wrist denervation was a viable salvage option.
