Mid-Term Outcomes of Proximal Row Carpectomy in Patients with Wrist Arthritis: A Retrospective Study

Öz

Background: Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a motion-preserving surgical option for selected patients with wrist arthritis. This retrospective study evaluated mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes after PRC, focusing on pain relief, functional recovery and complications. Methods: From 75 patients treated with PRC by a single surgeon, 30 patients (30 wrists) who attended clinical/radiographic re-evaluation were included. Diagnoses comprised Kienböck’s disease, scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC), scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC), and chronic perilunate dislocation sequelae. Procedures were performed through a transverse dorsal approach; partial wrist denervation (posterior interosseous nerve resection) was performed when indicated. Assessed outcomes included Mayo wrist score, flexion–extension arc, grip and pinch strength (three-trial averages compared with the contralateral side) and radiographic grading by the Culp & Jebson classification. Statistical analyses used NCSS software; p<0.05 indicated significance. Results: Mean follow-up was 107.2 months (range 71–150). No patient required revision surgery. Mean Mayo wrist score was 63.7 ± 13.7. Mean flexion–extension arc was 50.9° ± 20.7. Patients with Culp & Jebson stage II demonstrated higher mean flexion–extension arcs (61.9° ± 19.9) than stage III patients (39.4° ± 19.0); this difference reached statistical significance (p=0.046). Operated wrists showed mildly reduced grip and pinch strength compared with the contralateral side but retained functional capacity. Conclusions: PRC provided durable mid-term symptom relief and satisfactory functional outcomes with a low revision rate in this series. Careful patient selection, particularly assessment of capitate and radial cartilage, remains essential; prospective studies with larger cohorts and durability are warranted.
