Abstract
Three patients who continued to have distal radioulnar joint pain following Bowers' hemiresection interposition technique were treated by converting the resection arthroplasty into a Sauvé-Kapandji procedure. The resected 10 mm segment from the distal ulnar metaphysis was used as an interposition bone graft in the arthrodesis site, placed between the sigmoid notch of the radius and distal end of the ulna. After a minimum follow-up of 3 years, all three patients were satisfied with the procedure, were pain-free, and the preoperative range of wrist and forearm motion had increased. All three returned to their previous working activities.
