Kinematic analysis of a four-corner fusion
November 4, 2021
A young motor cyclist with a history of several wrist surgeries: first, a left-sided scapholunate ligament repair, reoperated with a ligament reconstruction, and later with a four-corner fusion (4CF). One-year after the 4CF, the CT images showed a remaining scaphoid, misplaced screws in the lunotriquetral joint, screw fractures of the lunate, and pseudoarthrosis of the 4CF. In a fourth wrist surgery the scaphoid was removed, the pseudoarthrosis areas were treated with bone grafts, and a new implant was placed.
