The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure for nonrheumatic disorders of the distal radioulnar joint.
The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure has received little attention until recently. Follow-up survey was performed of 31 wrists with nonrheumatic disorders. The wrists were evaluated with the Cooney score. A satisfactory result with good pain relief was obtained in 87% of the patients. The most frequent complication, reossification of the gap that is created, can be avoided with correct operative technique.
