Partial wrist fusion is a useful technique for the treatment of such specific
carpal disorders as arthritis, Kienböck's disease, midcarpal instability,
scaphoid nonunion, etc.Many techniques have been described by removing arthritic
joint surfaces and transfering load, using, for bone fixation, K-wires, screws,
staples, and more recently dedicated plates.The goal of this procedure is to
maximise wrist motion and strength while minimizing or eliminating pain.The
purpose of this article is to discuss the most commonly used combination of
intercarpal arthrodeses, to clarify the indications for each fusion, to describe
the appropriate surgical technique for each fusion, and to provide an overview of
results and current concepts. Cite this article: Houvet, P. Intercarpal fusions:
