摘要
Forty‐two wrists in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were subjected to distal ulnar resection, and follow‐up examinations were made. Failure of conservative medical therapy, subluxation or dislocation of the distal ulna with pain or limited motion, persistent synovitis, and tendon involvement are the primary indications for surgery. These painful, deformed joints experienced an increased range of motion and improved strength and function postoperatively. There was no recurrence of pain or synovitis, and tendon rupture has not occurred. No operative or postoperative complications occurred. Copyright © 1969 American College of Rheumatology
