title: Ulnocarpal abutment. Treatment options.
abstract: Ulnocarpal abutment presents a significant clinical challenge. In the last two decades, the anatomy of the ulnar side of the wrist and the pathophysiology of ulnocarpal abutment have been defined more clearly. Based on this greater understanding, a variety of treatments have been devised. This article reviews the current methods of treatment of ulnocarpal abutment.
