Proximal-Row Carpectomy

AN END-RESULT STUDY OF TWENTY-TWO CASES

ERIC C. JORGENSEN M.D.1

1 From the Orthopedic Service of Nassau Hospital, Mineola, and Meadowbrook Hospital, East Meadow, New York

Twenty-two cases of proximal-row carpectomy are presented. After follow-up periods of from three to seventeen years the results were excellent in fourteen, good in five, and fair in three.

Degenerative changes did not seem to develop with time and prolonged use. Changes of this type were observed in only one wrist ten years after operation.

Although some weakness of grasp and loss of motion occur after this procedure, these disabilities are not as severe as previously believed. All of the patients were pleased with their results.
