title: [Wrist para-articular radioulnar arthrodesis with distal Kapandji ulnar resection].
abstract: In 19 patients, the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure was performed between 1990 and 1993. The most important indication was the painful and restricted forearm rotation after fracture of the distal radius combined with dislocated or destroyed radio-ulnar joint. 18 patients were followed up. The only failure was found in a patient with bony regeneration across the resected ulnar segment and non-union of the distal radio-ulnar joint fusion. In all other cases, we found reduction of pain, an improved forearm rotation and grip strength.
