Thirty seven patients with a necrotic lunate or a partially necrotic scaphoid bone underwent surgery. The necrotic bone was replaced with autologous tendons. The late follow-up examination showed good stability within the carpal skeleton and no progression of the osteoarthritis. The patients reported marked relief of symptoms and improved function of the wrist. Postoperative active motion and strength were only slightly impaired. Very few complications and a smooth professional rehabilitation characterize this surgical procedure.
Several experimental rupture tests of the extensor pollicis longus tendon proved that a rupture of a tendon caused by experiments is located in a region in which the rupture is mainly found clinically as well. By using a newly developed Silicon impression system it can be proved that in the course of a tendon there is always a certain place which has the smallest cross section. This is more or less identical with the location of the rupture. Thus, ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus tendon can be experimentally simulated.
