THE SAUVÉ-KAPANDJI PROCEDURE IN COMBINATION WITH OPENING RADIAL WEDGE OSTEOTOMY FOR MALUNION OF DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES
Keyword(s):
The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in combination with an opening radial wedge osteotomy for malunion of distal radius fractures was performed in six patients. Follow-up at an average of 40.3 months showed two excellent, three good, and one poor result. Satisfactory results were obtained in restoration of forearm rotation and improvement of pain in all patients. The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in addition to an opening radial wedge osteotomy was indicated when a preoperative limitation of forearm rotation with severe pain and radiographic evidence of degenerative changes in the distal radioulnar joint were present. We have found combining these two procedures to be a reliable treatment option for malunion of distal radius fractures.
