Common causes of wrist OA are scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC). This study examines the outcomes of wrist salvage and fusion surgeries in the treatment of posttraumatic wrist arthritis caused by SLAC\/SNAC in the Veteran population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Materials and Methods\u2003A retrospective review was performed of patients who presented to a single Veteran Affairs hospital with wrist arthritis over the period of 12 years. Information analyzed included patient demographics, SNAC\/SLAC grade, and first operation (proximal row carpectomy, four-corner fusion, and total wrist fusion). Outcomes reviewed included postoperative malunion, impingement, hardware failure, postoperative range of motion (ROM), persistent pain, recurrent arthritis, and need for reoperation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003In the proximal row carpectomy group, 11 (29%) patients had poor ROM postoperation, 14 (36.8%) had persistent pain, 3 (7.9%) had recurrent arthritis, and 2 (5.3%) needed reoperations. In the four corner fusion 4CF group, 3 (13.6%) patients had malunion, 3 (13.6%) had impingement, 5 (22.7%) had a hardware failure, 2 (8.7%) had poor ROM postop, 9 (40.9%) had persistent pain, 6 (27.3%) had recurrent arthritis, and 6 (27.3%) needed reoperations. In the total wrist fusion TWF group, 2 (18.2%) patients had malunion, 2 (18.2%) had impingement, and 2 (18.2%) had hardware failure. No patients had poor ROM postoperation, 5 (45.5%) had persistent pain, 2 (18.2%) had recurrent arthritis, and 3 (27.3%) needed reoperations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003In the treatment of wrist arthritis, partial wrist fusions are optimal for maintaining ROM while improving pain control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Level of Evidence\u2003III<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1778060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]],"date-time":"2024-01-16T18:52:55Z","timestamp":1705431175000},"page":"108-113","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Wrist Salvage and Fusion Outcomes in a Veterans Affairs Population"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6115-1448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edward","family":"Lawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Loma Linda University School of Medicine, Loma Linda, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trey","family":"Cinclair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shelby","family":"Lies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"03","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"605","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000438463.90968.d6","article-title":"Osteoarthritis of the wrist","volume":"133","author":"C Cayci","year":"2014","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"issue":"S 12","key":"ref2","first-page":"21S","article-title":"Osteoarthritis treatment in the Veteran population","volume":"32","author":"M Stanishewski","year":"2015","journal-title":"Fed Pract"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"358","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(84)80223-3","article-title":"The SLAC wrist: scapholunate advanced collapse pattern of degenerative arthritis","volume":"9","author":"H K Watson","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Am"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref4","first-page":"381","article-title":"Scaphoid fractures.
