Background: The purpose of this study was to describe the technique of arthroscopic resection of the scaphoid head and evaluate both the clinical and radiographic results of scapho-trapezium-trapezoid osteoarthritis cases. Methods: Seventeen cases (13 men and 4 women) with a mean age of 57 years (24-74 years) were operated on from 2002 to 2015. Inclusion criteria were nontraumatic radial-sided wrist pain without improvement after 4 months of conservative treatment and positive radiographic images demonstrating the presence of osteoarthritis. All cases were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively using visual analog scale, wrist range of motion (ROM), grip strength, and patient’s work status (Mayo Wrist Score). Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and Patient-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE) questionnaires were also administered. The technique consisted of performing a 3- to 4-mm round-shaped scaphoid head resection via arthroscopy while preserving the scaphotrapezial and scaphocapitate ligament insertions. Results: At an average follow-up of 24 months, all the patients were satisfied. The results showed statistically significant improvement in pain at rest ( P = .001), under maximal load ( P = .0001), and in Mayo Wrist Score (MWS) ( P = .0001). Wrist ROM, grip strength, DASH, and PRWHE showed an improvement without reaching statistical significance. The mean preoperative radiolunate (RL) X-ray measurement angle was 17° (–10° to 35°). The postoperative mean value was 25° (0°-45°). In the preoperative radiographic evaluation, 11 cases exceeded the “critical” 15° RL angle. At follow-up, the RL angle increased in 10 cases and remained unchanged in 7 cases. None of these cases became symptomatic. Transitory neurapraxia of the dorsal superficial branch of the radial nerve was observed in 1 case. Damage of the dorsal branch of the radial artery was immediately fixed. Conclusions: Arthroscopic resection of the distal portion of the scaphoid due to scapho-trapezium-trapezoid osteoarthritis demonstrated an effective and safe technique with less complications than open surgery.
