Patient reported and functional outcome measures after surgical salvage procedures for posttraumatic radiocarpal osteoarthritis - a systematic review. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:453. [PMID: 38849773 PMCID: PMC11157883 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07527-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttraumatic wrist osteoarthritis is an irreversible and often progressive condition. Many surgical treatments, used in (daily) practice, aim to relieve symptoms like pain and restore function. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the patient reported and functional outcomes of the most common surgical interventions in patients with posttraumatic wrist osteoarthritis. This overview can help clinicians select the best treatment and manage patient's expectations. METHODS A literature search was performed in Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane for articles published between 1990 and November 2022 according to the PRISMA guidelines. The study protocol has been registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42017080427). Studies that describe patient reported outcomes (pain and Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) -score) and functional outcomes (range of motion (ROM) and grip strength) after surgical intervention with a minimal follow-up of 1 year were included. The identified surgical procedures included denervation, proximal row carpectomy, interpositional- and total arthroplasty, and midcarpal-, radiocarpal- and total arthrodesis. The pre-and postoperative outcomes were pooled and presented per salvage procedure. RESULTS Data from 50 studies was included. Pain score improved after all surgeries except denervation. Flexion/extension decreased after radiocarpal arthrodesis, did not show significant changes after proximal row carpectomy, and improved for all other surgeries. DASH score improved after arthroplasty, proximal row carpectomy and midcarpal arthrodesis. Grip strength improved after interposition arthroplasty and partial arthrodesis. CONCLUSION Evidence from this review did not support the indication for denervation in this particular patient population. In patients with SLAC/SNAC II, proximal row carpectomy might be favourable to a midcarpal arthrodesis solely based on better FE ROM of the radiocarpal joint after proximal row carpectomy. In terms of radiocarpal mobility, total wrist arthroplasty might be preferred to radiocarpal arthrodesis in patients with osteoarthritis after a distal radius fracture. More uniform measurements of outcomes would improve the understanding of the effect of surgical treatments of the posttraumatic osteoarthritic wrist.

Scapholunate Advanced Collapse (SLAC) and Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse (SNAC): A Review of Treatment Options for Stage II. Cureus 2024; 16:e59014. [PMID: 38800268 PMCID: PMC11127752 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.59014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) represent clinical entities identified by a pattern of predictable degenerative changes. They are the most common causes of wrist arthritis. Both entities can remain asymptomatic for many years and may go undiagnosed. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through clinical examination, which reveals progressive wrist pain and instability. Radiographically, degenerative changes in the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints are present, as well as nonunion of the scaphoid fracture in SNAC. The management differs according to the stage. Particularly in this review article, we reviewed the treatment options for stage II SLAC and SNAC wrist. In addition to the well-described surgical techniques such as proximal row carpectomy and four-corner fusion, alternatives such as capitolunate arthrodesis, three-corner fusion, and soft tissue procedures like capsulodesis and tenodesis are available. Proximal row carpectomy and partial arthrodeses yield comparable results. Soft tissue procedures are viable alternatives and are preferred in younger patients to avoid early salvage operations.

Abstract
Introduction Scapholunate advanced collapse is a rare condition of progressive deformity, instability, and arthritis that affects the radiocarpal and mid-carpal joints of the wrist. It occurs as a result of injury to the scapholunate ligament being left untreated. Case Report We present the imaging of a 50-year-old woman who complained of pain in her right wrist for 2 years. Radiographs of the wrist revealed scapholunate diastasis (Terry Thomas Sign), arthritis of the radio-scaphoid joint, dorsal intercalated segment instability, radial styloid beaking, and proximal migration of capitate. We also demonstrate the measurement of radiological parameters such as scapholunate angle. Conclusion A complete in-depth radiological analysis can thus demonstrate several signs that can prevent missed diagnosis. Increased awareness regarding these radiological signs can avoid the unnecessary higher imaging modalities being performed.

Abstract
Background Surgical procedure selection for carpal arthritis depends on which articular surfaces are affected, but there is no consensus on how to preoperatively evaluate cartilage surfaces. Despite advances in cross-sectional imaging, the utility of advanced imaging for preoperative decision-making has not been well established. Objectives Our objective was to assess if there is an added value to presurgical advanced imaging or diagnostic procedures in planning for carpal arthrodesis or carpectomy and to determine what imaging or diagnostic procedures influence surgical treatment options. Methods A seven-question survey was sent to 2,400 hand surgeons. Questions assessed which articular surfaces surgeons consider important for decision-making, which imaging modalities surgeons employ, and how often surgeons utilize diagnostic arthroscopy before performing carpectomy or arthrodesis procedures. Results A total of 337 (14%) surveys were analyzed. The capitolunate articulation (alone or in combination) was most frequently reported to impact surgical decision-making (48.1%). Most surgeons (86.6%) reported that standard plain radiographs are usually sufficient. Few surgeons reported always obtaining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT), with 44.2% of surgeons believing that MRI is never useful and 38.4% believing that CT is never useful. Most surgeons (68.2%) reported that they never perform wrist arthroscopy as part of their decision-making process. Conclusions This study provides information on the decision-making process in the surgical management of carpal arthritis. Given advances in cross-sectional imaging, further studies are needed to determine the utility of MRI and CT for the planning of surgical procedures in the treatment of arthritis of the carpus. Level of Evidence Level 4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to (1) analyze the imaging modalities utilized pre-operatively that influence surgical decision-making for wrist arthrodesis and carpectomy procedures and (2) determine the type and frequency of these procedures for the treatment of wrist arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This review was performed according to the guidelines of PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. Using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, peer-reviewed literature from 2011 to 2022 was searched for use of imaging in pre-operative decision-making for wrist arthrodesis and carpectomy surgical procedures. Data were compiled to determine the type(s) of imaging modalities used pre-operatively and types of surgical techniques reported in the literature. RESULTS Of 307 articles identified, 35 articles satisfied eligibility criteria, with a total of 1377 patients (68% men; age mean, 50.9 years [range, 10-81]) and 1428 wrist surgical interventions. Radiography was reported for pre-operative planning in all articles for all patients. Pre-operative cross-sectional imaging was reported in 2 articles (5.7%), but no articles reported detailed data on how CT or MRI influenced pre-operative wrist arthrodesis and carpectomy procedure decision-making. A dozen different types of surgical techniques were reported. The four most common procedures were four-corner arthrodesis with scaphoid excision (846, 59%), proximal row carpectomy (239, 17%), total wrist arthrodesis (130, 9%), and scaphocapitate arthrodesis (53, 4%). CONCLUSION Radiography is always used in pre-operative decision-making, but the literature lacks data on the influence of CT and MRI for selecting among a dozen different types of wrist arthrodesis and carpectomy procedures.
