Methods Eighteen patients with rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid were divided into five types according to clinical manifestation and cause: type Ⅰ (predynamic) 1 case,type Ⅱ (dynamic) 2 cases, type Ⅲ (static) 7 cases, type Ⅳ (degenerative) 3 cases, type Ⅴ( secondary) 5 cases. All cases underwent scapho-trapezio-trapezoid limited wrist arthrodesis. Results The follow-up ranged from 6 months to 3 years. The results showed that the all rotatory subluxatiopn of scaphoid in the study had been corrected with satisfactory fusion and painless wrist. The average grip strength was 90% of the normal wrist, and the average range of motion was 62% of the opposite side. Conclusion Scapho-trapezio-trapezoid limited arthrodesis is a reliable and useful procedure for treatment of chronic andChina Medical Abstracts(Surgery) static rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid. 15 refs,2 figs.展开更多
