title: [Results of Kapandji-Sauvé procedure with distal radio-ulnar fusion and segmental resection of the ulna].
abstract: The Kapandji-Sauvé procedure was performed in 75 patients between 1990 and 2003. The most important indication was painful and restricted forearm rotation after fracture of the distal radius combined with dislocation or destruction of the distal radioulnar joint. 25 patients were followed up using a modified Martini score. We found a significant improvement of forearm rotation, reduction of pain and a good patient satisfaction in a long-term follow-up ranging from three to 12 years.
