Early proximal row carpectomy after severe carpal trauma

Proximal row carpectomy: Long-term results

“…Surgical treatment remains controversial in patients with degenerative wrist [1][2][3][4][5]. Components of the therapeutic arsenal range from non operative measures to total wrist arthrodesis and include denervation, proximal row resection, limited wrist fusion, arthroplasty.…”

Translunate transradial styloid fracture dislocation: A case report (a rare translunate fracture dislocation)

“…Some authors have advocated a proximal row excision as an index procedure in these circumstances. 5,7 These authors feel that the end result of these high energy injuries to the carpus is a profoundly decreased range of motion, loss of grip strength and severe pain. They feel that a PRC would potentially avoid these complications by decreasing the time of immobility demanded by other fracture repair and salvage techniques.…”

Open reduction and internal fixation in a case with transscaphoid perilunate dislocation 8 months after the injury: a patient with a 5-year follow-up

“…Dislocation in this region requires rapid realignment, as untreated perilunate dislocation or dislocation of the lunate bone will lead to serious secondary damage, which can only be treated by salvage operations involving loss of function [10]. Acute post-traumatic PRC can be indicated, but is rarely reported in literature and cannot be used as a first line procedure [11]. …”
