  • LONG-TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF VASCULARIZED CAPITATE OSTEOTOMY TRANSPOSITION FOR ADVANCED Kienböck's DISEASE

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term effectiveness of lunate excision and vascularized capitate osteotomy transposition for advanced Kienböck's disease. MethodsBetween June 2004 and January 2008,16 patients with Kienböck disease in Lichtman stages ⅢB-IV were treated with lunate excision and vascularized capitate osteotomy transposition.There were 10 males and 6 females at the age of 27-59 years (mean,38.8 years).The disease was caused by trauma in 10 cases,and unknown reason in 6 cases.The main clinical symptoms were pain and limited activity of the wrist joint,and the disease duration was 5-32 months (mean,26.5 months).The carpal height index was 0.88±0.05; the radioscaphoid angle was (63.8±9.1)°.The visual analogue scale (VAS) score,range of motion (ROM),grip strength,Evans score,and radiographic changes were used to assess the effectiveness during follow-up. ResultsAll patients obtained healing of incision by first intention and were followed up 5 years and 4 months to 9 years (mean,5.8 years).VAS score was 2.0±1.5 at the final follow-up.The ROM of the flexion and extension of the wrist joint at the affected side were significantly less than those at the normal side (P<0.05).However,no significant difference was found in the grip strength and Evans score between the affected side and normal side (t=-0.997,P=0.327; t=-1.852,P=0.077).Postoperative radiographs showed that the carpal height index was 0.94±0.03,and the radioscaphoid angle was (48.4±4.8)°,which were improved significantly when compared with preoperative ones (t=-3.927,P=0.000; t=5.987,P=0.000).Osteophyte at the dorsal side of the radius and scaphoid rotation occurred in 6 cases and 2 cases,respectively. ConclusionLunate excision and vascularized capitate osteotomy transposition is a reliable method for advanced Kienböck's disease,with favorable improvement in wrist pain and grip strength for long-term follow-up.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of nitinol memory alloy two foot fixator combined with Kirschner wire in the treatment of trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation.MethodsBetween September 2011 and October 2018, 17 patients with trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation were treated with nitinol memory alloy two foot fixator and Kirschner wire. There were 12 males and 5 females, with an average age of 32.6 years (range, 23-52 years). The disease duration was 8 hours to 9 days, with an average of 6.5 days. The causes of injury included 6 cases of falling injury, 4 cases of traffic accident injury, 3 cases of stress injury of wrist caused by sports, 2 cases of violent injury of wrist caused by machine impact, 1 case of military training injury, and 1 case of other injury. One case was complicated with nerve injury. According to Herbert’s classification, all the fractures were type B4. At 1 week before operation, 3 months, 6 months after operation and last follow-up, the wrist function was evaluated according to the Krimmer scale score.ResultsAll the 17 patients were followed up 10.5-48 months, with an average of 18.6 months. There was no loosening or infection of the internal fixator, no necrosis of the scaphoid and lunate. The periosteal dislocations of the patients were well reduced and the scaphoid fractures all healed. The healing time was 4-18 months, with an average of 11.3 months. The Krimmer wrist scores were 37.5±4.4, 61.3±7.2, 83.3±9.3, 87.3±8.2 at 1 week before operation, 3 months, 6 months after operation and last follow-up, respectively. The Krimmer wrist score at each time point after operation was significantly improved when compared with that before operation (P<0.05), and at 6 months after operation and last follow-up than at 3 months after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between at 6 months and last follow-up (P>0.05). At last follow-up, the Krimmer wrist function was excellent in 13 cases, good in 2 cases, fair in 1 case, poor in 1 case, and the excellent and good rate was 88.23%.ConclusionNitinol memory alloy two foot fixator combined with Kirschner wire in the treatment of trans-scaphoid periosteal dislocation has definite effectiveness, simple operation, and good recovery of wrist function after operation.

  • Anatomy of pisiform blood supply and feasibility of vascularized pisiform transfer for avascular necrosis of lunate based on digital technique

    ObjectiveTo provide anatomical basis for vascularized pisiform transfer in the treatment of advanced avascular necrosis of the lunate (Kienböck’s disease) by studying its morphology and blood supply pattern based on digital technique.MethodsTwelve adult fresh wrist joint specimens were selected and treated with gelatin-lead oxide solution from ulnar or radial artery. Then the three-dimensional (3D) images of the pisiform and lunate were reconstructed by micro-CT scanning and Mimics software. The morphologies of pisiform and lunate were observed and the longitudinal diameter, transverse diameter, and thickness of pisiform and lunate were measured. The main blood supply sources of pisiform were observed. The number, diameter, and distribution of nutrient foramina at proximal, distal, radial, and ulnar sides of pisiform were recorded. The anatomic parameters of the pedicles (branch of trunk of ulnar artery, carpal epithelial branch, descending branch of carpal epithelial branch, recurrent branch of deep palmar branch) were measured, including the outer diameter of pedicle initiation, distance of pedicle from pisiform, and distance of pedicle from lunate. ResultsThere were significant differences in the longitudinal and transverse diameters between pisiform and lunate (t=6.653, P=0.000; t=6.265, P=0.000), but there was no significant difference in thickness (t= 1.269, P=0.109). The distal, proximal, radial, and ulnar sides of pisiform had nutrient vessels. The nutrient foramina at proximal side were significantly more than that at distal side (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the diameter of nutrient foramina between different sides (P>0.05). The outer diameter of pedicle initiation of the recurrent branch of deep palmar branch was significantly smaller than the carpal epithelial branch and descending branch of carpal epithelial branch (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the distance of pedicle from pisiform/lunate between branch of trunk of ulnar artery and recurrent branch of deep palmar branch (P>0.05), and between carpal epithelial branch and descending branch of carpal epithelial branch (P>0.05). But the differences between the other vascular pedicles were significant (P<0.05). ConclusionThere are abundant nutrient vessels at the proximal and ulnar sides of pisiform, so excessive stripping of the proximal and ulnar soft tissues should be avoided during the vascularized pisiform transfer. It is feasible to treat advanced Kienböck’s disease by pisiform transfer with the carpal epithelial branch of ulnar artery and the descending branch.

  • Three-dimensional finite element model construction and biomechanical analysis of customized titanium alloy lunate prosthesis

    Objective To design customized titanium alloy lunate prosthesis, construct three-dimensional finite element model of wrist joint before and after replacement by finite element analysis, and observe the biomechanical changes of wrist joint after replacement, providing biomechanical basis for clinical application of prosthesis. Methods One fresh frozen human forearm was collected, and the maximum range of motions in flexion, extension, ulnar deviation, and radialis deviation tested by cortex motion capture system were 48.42°, 38.04°, 35.68°, and 26.41°, respectively. The wrist joint data was obtained by CT scan and imported into Mimics21.0 software and Magics21.0 software to construct a wrist joint three-dimensional model and design customized titanium alloy lunate prosthesis. Then Geomagic Studio 2017 software and Solidworks 2017 software were used to construct the three-dimensional finite element models of a normal wrist joint (normal model) and a wrist joint with lunate prosthesis after replacement (replacement model). The stress distribution and deformation of the wrist joint before and after replacement were analyzed for flexion at and 15°, 30°, 48.42°, extension at 15°, 30°, and 38.04°, ulnar deviation at 10°, 20°, and 35.68°, and radial deviation at 5°, 15°, and 26.41° by the ANSYS 17.0 finite element analysis software. And the stress distribution of lunate bone and lunate prosthesis were also observed. Results The three-dimensional finite element models of wrist joint before and after replacement were successfully constructed. At different range of motion of flexion, extension, ulnar deviation, and radial deviation, there were some differences in the number of nodes and units in the grid models. In the four directions of flexion, extension, ulnar deviation, and radial deviation, the maximum deformation of wrist joint in normal model and replacement model occurred in the radial side, and the values increased gradually with the increase of the range of motion. The maximum stress of the wrist joint increased gradually with the increase of the range of motion, and at maximum range of motion, the stress was concentrated on the proximal radius, showing an overall trend of moving from the radial wrist to the proximal radius. The maximum stress of normal lunate bone increased gradually with the increase of range of motion in different directions, and the stress position also changed. The maximum stress of lunate prosthesis was concentrated on the ulnar side of the prosthesis, which increased gradually with the increase of the range of motion in flexion, and decreased gradually with the increase of the range of motion in extension, ulnar deviation, and radialis deviation. The stress on prosthesis increased significantly when compared with that on normal lunate bone. Conclusion The customized titanium alloy lunate prosthesis does not change the wrist joint load transfer mode, which provided data support for the clinical application of the prosthesis.

    Objective To demonstrate the anatomical and biomechanical basis of scaphoid ring sign in advanced Kienbock’s disease. Methods The study consisted of two sections. The ligaments stabilizing the proximal pole of the scaphoid were observed in 5 specimens. Under 12 kg dead weight load through the tendons of the flexion carpal radial, the flexion carpal ulnar, the extension carpal radial, and the extension carpal ulnar for 5 minutes, the stresses of the scaphoid fossa and lunate fossa were measured in the case of neutral, flexion, extension, radial deviation and ulnar deviation of the wrist joint under normal and rupture conditions respectively by FUJI prescale film and FPD-305E,306E.Results Based on anatomical study, the ligaments stabilizing the proximal pole of the scaphoid consisted of the radioscaphocapitate ligament, long radiolunate ligament and scapholunate interosseous ligament; and the latter two ligaments restricted dorsal subluxation of the proximalpole of the scaphoid. When compared rupture condition with normal condition, thescaphoid fassa stress of radial subregion was not significantly different (0.90±0.43 vs 0.85±0.15), and the ones of palmar, ulnar and dorsal subregions decreased (0.59±0.20, 0.52±0.05 and 0.58±0.23 vs 0.77±0.13, 0.75±0.08 and0.68±0.09) in the case of extension; the scaphoid fassa stresses of all subregions increased or had no difference in the case of neural, flexion, radial deviation and ulnar deviation. The lunate fossa stresses of all subregions increased in thecase of neural, and the ones of all subregions decreased or had no difference inthe case of flexion, extension, radial deviation and ulnar deviation.Conclusion Rotary scaphoid subluxation should be treated operatively at Ⅲ B stage of Kienbock’s disease to avoid traumatic arthritis of theradioscaphoid joint.

  • Comparison of screw implantation parameters between two approaches in capitolunate arthrodesis: an imaging analysis based on CT of the normal wrist

    ObjectiveTo compare the parameters of screw implantation in capitolunate arthrodesis between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones and via the distal dorsal capitate bone approach based on CT images of the normal wrist, and provide reference for the selection of surgical approaches and planning of screw insertion trajectory. MethodsCT data of 50 patients who met the criteria between February 2022 and April 2022 were selected as the study objects. There were 30 males and 20 females, and the age ranged from 18 to 69 years (mean, 37 years). The normal wrist alignment was conformed in all CT images. All CT data from the unilateral wrist of the patients was imported into Mimics Medical 20.0 software to construct a three-dimensional plane model, in which a virtual 3.5 mm screw was implanted between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones and via the distal dorsal capitate bone approach. The angle between screw and coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes, the total length of the screw, the length of the screw in the lunate bone and the capitate bone were measured. The ratios of the length of the screw in capitate bone to the length of the long axis of the capitate bone, the length of the screw in lunate bone to the length of the long axis of the lunate bone, and the length of screw in lunate bone to the length of the screw in capitate bone were calculated. Assuming that the result of screw implantation between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones was better than that via the distal dorsal capitate bone approach, the difference in length of the screw in the lunate bone between the two approaches was calculated, and the superiority test was performed. ResultsCompared with the distal dorsal capitate bone approach, the total length of the screw increased, the length of the screw in the capitate bone decreased, and the length of the screw in the lunate bone increased, the angle between the screw and coronal plane decreased, the angles between screw and sagittal, transverse planes increased after the screw was implanted between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones. And the ratio of the length of the screw in capitate bone to the length of the long axis of capitate bone decreased, the ratio of the length of the screw in lunate bone to the length of the long axis of lunate bone increased, and the ratio of the length of the screw in lunate bone to the length of the screw in capitate bone also increased. All the differences were significant (P<0.05). The difference in the length of the screw in the lunate bone between the two approaches was 1.86 mm [95%CI (1.54, 2.18) mm], which was greater than the superiority margin (1.35 mm). The superiority hypothesis was supported. ConclusionCompared with the distal dorsal capitate bone approach, the screws implanted between the the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones in the capitolunate arthrodesis are longer in lunate bone and more vertical to the articular surface of the capitolunate joint. Theoretically, the capitolunate joint are more firmly fixed.
