  • Title: The Sauve-Kapandji procedure for reconstruction of the rheumatoid distal radioulnar joint.
    Author: Vincent KA, Szabo RM, Agee JM.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1993 Nov; 18(6):978-83. PubMed ID: 8294758.
    Abstract:
    Our experience with the Sauve-Kapandji procedure for reconstruction of the rheumatoid distal radioulnar joint is reported. Twenty-one wrists in 17 patients were followed for an average of 39 months postoperatively. Average range of motion at follow-up evaluation was pronation to 78 degrees and supination to 86 degrees. X-ray films demonstrated that significant ulnarward and palmarward translocation of the carpus was prevented. The Sauve-Kapandji procedure provides a stable ulnar side support in the rheumatoid wrist with distal radioulnar degeneration.
