title: Bone grafting in four-corner mid-carpal fusion.
abstract: Four-corner fusion is an accepted surgical treatment for established SLAC and SNAC wrist. We describe a technique of bone grafting to be used in conjunction with any of the standard fusion techniques. A step by step, illustrated approach allows the easy placement of an autograft which is in contact with all surfaces of the bones involved in the fusion.
