Scaphocapitate Fusion for Kienbock disease: Jun Young Yang, Hyun Dae Shin, Sang Ro Ahn, Kwang Jin Rhee, Jun Kue Lee, Jung Hee Choi; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(2):446-451. Published online April 30, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.2.446

We reviewed 14 patients treated with scaphocapitate fusion for Kienb.. ock's disease(Lichtman stage III) with mean follow-up of 26 months (ranging from 1 years to 5 year). There were five mens and nine womens. The mean age of patients at the time of operation was 46.1 years (ranging from thirty one to sixty). According to Lichtman's classification, All patients were stage III. Clinical assessments were evaluated using by pain relief, limitation in range of motion and clinical improvement. Radiologic assessment was evaluated by carpal height ratio. The mean range of motion is flexion 30 degree, extension 41 degree preoperatively, and flexion 29 degree, extension 41 degree postoperatively. The mean carpal height ratio is 0.49 preoperatively and 0.48 postoperatively. All of cases are relief of pain. Therefore radiographic and clinical satisfactory results were obtained. In conclusion, scaphocapitate fusion appear to be a very effective method for Lichtman stage III of symptomatic Kienb.. ock's disease.

Case Report

Fracture of the Capitate with Velar Perilunate Dislocation: One case report: Kwang Hyun Lee; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(4):908-913. Published online October 31, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.4.908

Abstract PDF: Fracture of the capitate is a rare form of carpal injuries. It can occur with perilunate dislocation. In that case, capitate fracture associated with scaphoid fracture is common enough that it has been called the scaphocapitate fracture(or syndrome). A rare case of a displaced fracture of the capitate and unusual locked volar perilunate dislocation without scaphoid fracture is described. This carpal injury was treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning with one K-wire and the result is now excellent. A possible explantation of the mechanism underlying this conditian is offered and the literature is reviewed.
