There are two types of interventions to treat a post-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis: the proximal row carpectomy and the four corner fusion. They are used to reduce pain and to maintain the mobility. In previous studies are shown that the proximal row carpectomy shows a better mobility of the wrist postoperatively, whereas the four corner fusion has lower progression of radiocarpale osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical, radiological and subjective outcomes after the treatment with a proximal row carpectomy or a four corner fusion.
