Initial treatment of chronic pisotriquetral pathology should involve a trial of nonoperative therapy such as neutral wrist splint, anti-inflammatories, and intra-articular steroid injections. The mainstay of surgical management of pisotriquetral pain is pisiform excision.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Purpose\u2003This prospective study seeks to understand patient satisfaction after pisiform excision in patients with isolated pisotriquetral pathology.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Patients and Methods\u2003A consecutive series of nine cases of pisiform excision was performed by the senior surgeon. The primary outcome measure was determined a priori to be the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score. Wrist range of motion, grip strength, and QuickDASH (shortened version of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) scores were also collected preoperatively and at 3 and 12 months postoperatively as secondary outcome measures.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003There was a very rapid improvement in the PRWE by 3 months, which was maintained at 12 months. The QuickDASH score was slower to improve, with a significant improvement by 12 months. There was no change in grip strength or wrist range of motion at any time point.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Pisiform excision results in a very rapid improvement of symptoms and should be considered in cases of pisotriquetral instability or arthritis that fail conservative management.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Level of Evidence\u2003Level IV, case
