57
Q

Factors influencing outcomes of PRC

A

> 40y
Not heavy job
Type of capitate/lunate did not affect clinical outsomes

58
Q

PRC indications

A

ONLY in SLAC 1 and 2 and SNAC 1 (all others affect head of capitate)

Otherwise 4CF in stage 3 SLAC, stage 2 SNAC

59
Q

PRC and 4CF tips

A
  • Preserve RSC radioscaphocapitate lig
  • Small radial styloidectomy prevents radio-trapezoid impingement
  • 4CF derotate lunate
60
Q

Tips RSL fusion

A

Inspect midcarpal
Excise distal 1/4 Scaphoid (improves unoin rates, maximises DTM)
POP 4 weeks, Wires out later

61
Q

2 STT fusion tips

A

Restorenormal hight!
Scaphoid angle 55-60 degrees important

62
Q

Why is total arthroplasty not a winner?

A
  • Closer to the body better results (cannot be compared to other joints)
  • Strong rivals (Fusion, PRC..)
  • Limited indications (gives less money to develop)
63
Q

3 Types of wrist implants now?

A
  1. Freedom
  2. Re-motion
    Cementless - distal polyethyleene, ellipoid,
  3. Motec (Ball and socket, no cement into radius, capitate and 3rd MC)
64
Q

Most common cause of failiure in implants

A

Distal component loosening,
often stuck proximal and difficult to take away

65
Q

Lunate vascular necroris cause

A

Stress fracture in subchondral bone gives a compartment syndrome in the bone with damaged venous drainage - but cartilage is preserved in early disease! It’s a bone disease

66
Q

Morphologic causes of Kienböck

A

-Short ulna (stress fracture in the radial half of lunate)
- Viegas type 1 (1 distal facet)
- Zapico 1 (<130gr)

67
Q

Kienböck mechanical effects?

A
  • Collapse of lunate gives prox migration of Capitate - like cracker into SL and collapse of central column
  • Kissing lesions LC and RL osteoarthritis
  • S flexion
  • T extension
  • Carpal ulnar translation
68
Q

Kienböck classifications

A
  1. Lichtmann (MRI nad radiography)
  2. Schmitt (staging viability with MR + gadolineum)
  3. Bain (arthroscopic assessment (0-4)
  4. 4D CT
69
Q

<15y Keinböck treatment?

A
  1. Konservative 6m
    If proceeds surgical levelling procedure:
  2. Epiphysiodesis with or/without carpal central loading decompression
  3. STT pinning temporary
70
Q

> 70y Kienböck treatment

A

Conservative since good clinical outcome even if the disease progresses
Arthroscopic synovectomy for pain

71
Q

Kienböck with intact lunate treatment - protect fr loading

A

Only extraarticular procedures

If short ulna -> radial wedge osteotomy 2-3mm +/- STT pinning

Not short ulna but increased radial tilt - radial wedge osteotomy

Not short ulna -> 2-3mm Capitate shortening +/- STT-pinning

72
Q

Kienböck with compromised lunate - treatment (still reconstructable 2 and 3A)

A

Reconstruction - intraarticular procedures

  1. Cancellous graft
  2. Vascularized graft
  3. Tissue transfer
73
Q

Kienböck not reconstructible lunate - treatment

A

Salvage to reduce pain and restore hand function after athroscopic assessment:
1. intact RLj -> PRC
2. damaged RLj but intact RSj -> SC-arthrodesis

74
Q

Static forearm stabilizers

A
  • PRUj lig
  • Proximal oblique cord
  • Central band (most important) & accessory bands
  • Distal oblique bundle
  • DRUj & ulnocarpal lig
75
Q

Central band of Interosseous lig direction and origin?

A

When walking on hands - load and prox migration of radius- Central band prevents this (orientation prox radius 1/3 to distal ulnae 2/3). often obvious tubercles on the bone

76
Q

Distal oblique bundle function?

A

Static stabilizer DRUJ (not everyone has it)

77
Q

Axis of forearm rotation?

A

Oblique from enter of radial head to basistyloid fovea of ulnar head

78
Q

Is ulna still under pro/sup?

A

No - slight motion (moves a little bit to the other side of the radius ex pronation moves ulnarly..)

79
Q

Where do you need congreuncy for forearm movement

A

Congruency of the whole forearm joint PRUJ, radial pronation so the radius can go over the ulna and DRUJ

The whole forearm is a joint

80
Q

Load transfer in wrist and elbow

A

20% ulna, 80% radius

20% goes from radius to ulna through the central band of interosseous membrane

In elbow 40% through ulna and 60% through radius

Depends on ulna +/i and pronation/supination
More equal load in supination to ulna and radius

81
Q

What is most important of longitudinal forearm stability

A
  1. Radial head most important
  2. CB central band sec stabilizer
  3. TFCC less important

If no radial head the interosseous lig will have less tension since the bones are close together

82
Q

DRUJ stabilizers?

A

TFCC
Ulocarpal lig
IOM

Dynamic stabilizers:
ECU tendon and sheath
PQ
arm & forearm muscles

83
Q

A
  1. Piano key sign (man ska tryck på ulna som en piano tangent)
  2. Dimple test (det jag tidigare trodde var piano key
  3. Distal ulna ballottement test (neutr, pro, sup, radial incl testing ulnocarpal lig)

If patient can dynamically stabilize the DRUj it can have laxity but still be stable.

84

Staging SL-disability
Modified by Garcia Elias

A
  1. Partial
  2. Still Repairable but total
  3. Not repairable
  4. RS angle bad
  5. Is reducible but lunate malaligned
  6. Is not reducible
  7. Bad cartilage

Q

EWAS

A
  1. Elongation- probe no passage
  2. Tip of probe inside (próx membrane rupture)
    3A. 2 + volar SL (volar widening with probe)
    3B. 2 + dorsal (dorsal)
    3C. 2 + dorsal + volar (global widening but reduces when probe is out)
    • SL gap but no radiographic abnormalities (arthroscope through)
    • rtg anomalies

Q

CIND surgery

A

Rehab, proprioception!

Volar CIND: RL fusion, but if good cartilage and easy reducible reconstruction with ECRB strip tunneled in C and Trq. No longer TrqH fusion because RS impingement.

Dorsal: No longer suture space of poirer because stops extension of wrist. Instead ex Mayo capsulodesis reinforcing DIC.

Prognosis of conservative treatment of Kienböck

A

Kristensen et al, 46 pat mean 20y: 66% arthritis but 20% significant symptoms

Taniguchi - worse rig in 70% of 20 pat 25y but 20% sign symptoms
