Abstract

Thumb basal joint osteoarthritis and scapholunate advanced collapse are common degenerative wrist disorders. Surprisingly, literature describing the incidence and treatment of these two disorders in the same wrist is limited. This study sought to determine how often these disorders present concurrently, as well as report on outcomes from a new surgical technique devised to treat these cases.
