Wrist Flashcards
Column concept
Lateral - S,T,T bones (mobile)
Central - L,C,H bones (flex ext)
Medial - Triquetrum and distal carpal row , rotation
Space of Poirier

Colle fracture
Indication for surgery
> 10-15 Degrees dorsal tilt
2-5 mm ulnar shortening
2 mm intraarticular step-off
<15 degrees radial inclination
Lunate types
Type 1: One distal facett (to capitate)
Type 2: Two facettes (Capitate and Hamate)
How does lunate type affect Kienböck disease?
Lunate type 2 (2 facettes) seems to be protective against DISI and coronal fractures in Kienböck
Etiology of Kienböck
Avascular necrosis
1. Biomechanical factors (Ulna negative, Decreased radial inclination, repetetive trauma)
2. Anatomic factors (Lunate 1 predisposed, vascular)
Kienböck type IIIA and B difference
Important difference in treatment.
A: Early collapse with no fixed scaphoid rotation (treatment to prevent further collapse)
B: Late collapse with fixed rotation (too late - only pain reducin procedures)
Kienböck stage IV
Arthritis adjacent joints
Kienböck type I and II (of IV)
- MRI (not visible on x-ray)
- Sclerosis
Kienböck stage 1 treatment
NSAID
Immobilisation
Kienböck stage 2 and 3A treatment (5)
- Joint levelling (radial shortening)
- Radial wedge osteotomy
- STT-fusion
- Distal radius core decompression
- Revascularization procedures
- Capitohamate fusion + SC fusion (66% decreased contact stress on lunate)
Kienböck stage 3B treatment
- PRC
- STT-fusion
- SC-fusion
Kienböck stage 4 treatment
- Wrist fusion
- PRC
- Limited intercarpal fusion
- Total wrist arthroplasty
Role of MRI in Kienböck
Early diagnosis
Rule out ulnar impaction
(decreas T1 signalling)
Role of CT in Kienböck
Once collapse has already occured
1. Extent of necrosis
2. Lunate geometry
3. Trabecular destruction
4. Degenerative changes
Vascularized bone graft for Kienböck disease?
Many options have been described including
- transfer of pisiform
- transfer of distal radius on a vascularized pedicle of pronator quadratus
t- ransfers of branches of the first, second, or third dorsal metacarpal arteries
- 4 + 5 extensor compartment artery (ECA)
+ temporary pinning of the STT joint, SC joint or external fixation may be used to unload lunate after revascularization
TFCC inj classification
Palmer classification
1 acute
A central
B ulnar
C distal
D radial
2 degenerative
A thinning
B chondromalac
C perforation
D LT lig perforation
E arthritis
Ulnar impaction treatment
Wafer (2-4mm if no instability, open or arthroscopically
Ulnar shortening in diaphysis prox to DOB lig
Two typer of ulnocarpal dislocation
Radial inclination and palmar tilt?
2 dorsal and 6 volar extrinsic wrist ligaments
In radial deviation, does the scaphoid flex?
Funktion of triquetrum in the wrist
How do u see that its a true lateral?
The pisiform is between the capitate and the scaphoid
3 ulnar extrinsic volar lig
3 volar radial extrinsic lig
An importens funktion of DIC lig
2 dorsal extrinsic lig
Mechanism of SL rupture?
Volar short RL lig intact Hilda lunatum
Firat volar SL then dorsal
How does the lunate dislocate?
Tales IK type 2 is?
Signs of VISI in a frontal
Seagull sign, ring sign, sec SL dissociation(not true)
Lesser arc perilunate dislocation means?
Only ligament inj
Greater arc perilunate injury
Ulna carpal dislocation type 2?
Mayfield stage 1
Mayfield stage 2?
Mayfield stage 3
Mayfield stage IV
When is it possible to reconstruct SL-injury
- Reducible SL in frontal/lateral
- Stable lunate, not ulnarly translated(short/long RL intact)
- Patient factors
- Local exprience/complications
Unstable lunate + SL, what to do?
Spiral antipronation tenodesis (FCR borras igenom S, går dorsalt om L till T och sen volart om L till radiusstyloiden där den förankras)
SCAC?
Scaphoid Chondrocalcinosis Advanced Collapse (pyrofosfate deposition - extremely common)
SLAC 1
Arthrosis in dorsal part of scaphoid fossa
SLAC 2
Large dorsal damage of scaphoid fossa
SLAC 3
Midcarpal
Never affects SCj (as in SNAC)
But with DISI dorsal LC degenerates
SNAC movement of S?
Snac1
Distal fragment is flexed and rotated (pronated)
Distal fragment has more motion than unbroken
SNAC1 - affects radial styloid fossa not proximal S - fossa
SNAC 2
Between proxiaml fragment and Capitate not distal fragment. The distal fragment moves together with C. The proximal fragment moves together with L (not affecting l and prox S fossa)
