Abstract
Since 1994, we have performed the Sauve-kapandji procedure in 11 the patients for distal ulnocarpal joint disorders. The age at operation ranged from 18 to 54 years (average 41.3 years). Follow up averaged 8.8 months. All cases had ulnocarpal abutment syndrome. The average ulnar variance was +4.9mm and all were corrected with ulnar null variance. Clinical results were evaluated by Fernandez and Inoue's Criteria. Seven cases were evaluated as excellent and four were good. We consider that the best indication of this procedure is for osteoarthritis of the distal radioulnar joint or instability of the distal ulnar head.
