Abstract
Proximal row carpectomy has been proven to be effective as a salvage procedure for degenerative or post-traumatic disorders of the carpus.

Based on our series and a review of the literature, we believe that proximal row carpectomy is not as effective for Kienbock's disease as for scapholunate advanced collapse.
