title: [Arthrodesis of the wrist with the use of bone graft and stable plate osteosynthesis. Results in 27 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: 36 arthrodesis of the wrist have been controlled. The operative technique could be divided into two groups. On the first group a stable osteosynthesis and cortico-cancellous bone graft have been used. The second group has been treated by other internal rigid fixation. 13 patients of the first and 14 of the second group have been followed up. It was possible to obtain an arthrodesis by all methods. The stable kind of arthrodesis makes the  handposition secure, the postoperative immobilization in cast much shorter and avoids the danger of pseudarthrosis.
