A retrospective study was performed to investigate the clinical and radiological results of radiolunate arthrodesis in the rheumatoid wrist. Ninety-one wrists in 78 patients were assessed at a mean follow-up of 60 months. Most patients were pain-free and content with the overall result. In 68 wrists the carpus had been repositioned or maintained in neutral or slightly ulnar alignment and no further translation occurred. Midcarpal dislocation occured in ten and midcarpal rotation in 13 wrists. The midcarpal joint underwent further arthritic destruction in 34 wrists and secondary arthrosis in 32 wrists. In 25 wrists the midcarpal joint space remained unchanged. Radiolunate arthrodesis can successfully be performed in wrists even with advanced destruction. In cases with fixed carpal collapse, anatomical repositioning of the lunate and restoration of carpal height should not be attempted as this causes midcarpal dislocation or rotation or precipitates secondary arthrosis.

The indices for ulnar translation described by Chamay et al. (1983 , Annales de Chirurgie de la Main, Vol. 2, pp. 5–17), and Bouman et al. (1994 , Journal of Hand Surgery Vol. 19B, pp. 325–329), and for carpal height described by Youm et al. (1978 , Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 40A, pp. 423–431) and Bouman et al. (1994) were compared in pre- and postoperative wrist X-rays of 91 patients with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing radiolunate arthrodesis. Both indices described by Bouman had a higher applicability and sensitivity than the Chamay and Youm indices and are recommended for use with the rheumatoid wrist. However false-negative values may result when the Bouman index for ulnar translation is used to follow up radiolunate arthrodesis.
