Ganglion cysts are the most common wrist tumors, and 60 -70% originate dorsally from the scapholunate interval. Ossification of these lesions is exceedingly rare, with only one such lesion located in the finger reported in the literature. We present a case of an ossified dorsal wrist ganglion in a 68-year-old woman.

Bone-ligament-bone grafts for reconstruction of the scapholunate ligament are a valuable tool to prevent disease progression to carpal collapse. Locally available grafts do not require an additional donor site. The first extensor compartment was evaluated biomechanically regarding its possible use as an autograft. METHODS Twelve native fresh-frozen, human cadaver specimens were tested by appl...

PURPOSE To assess the results of a hybrid Russe procedure using a corticocancellous strut, cancellous autologous nonvascularized bone graft, and cannulated headless compression screw to reduce the deformity reliably from a collapsed scaphoid nonunion, provide osteoinductive stimulus, and stabilize the fracture for predictable union. METHODS A hybrid Russe procedure was performed for scaphoid ...

A series of 10 patients with reducible chronic post-traumatic scapholunate dissociation, treated with the modified Brunelli technique, is presented. The general outcome was good with a mean DASH score of 12, a range of motion of 69% and gripping force of 77% compared with the contralateral side.
