Patients were randomly allocated to either the AWP group (21 patients) who underwent AWP and TFCC debridement or the USO group (22 patients) who underwent diaphyseal USO. Patients were followed up for at least 12 months. The primary outcome measure was the Modified Mayo Wrist (MMW) score. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, the mean operative time, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction were our secondary outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Radiological correction of variance was achieved in all patients. The mean operative time was significantly shorter in the AWP group. The postoperative MMW and DASH scores were better in the AWP group than in the USO group. Fewer complications occurred in the AWP group (1 of 21 patients) compared with the USO group (3 of 22 patients).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2003AWP with TFCC debridement is a reliable and safe method for the management of UIS with a positive variance of less than 4\u2009mm with better clinical and functional results than diaphyseal USO.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Type of
