The investigators conduced a clinical trial to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results after radioscapholunate fusion in case of posttraumatic radiocarpal osteoarthritis. Because of poor clinical result, many authors upgrade the procedure including excision of the distal pole of the scaphoid and later excision of the entire triquetrum. Only one study compared the three procedures in 17 patients. The investigators performed the same comparison in 85 patients with a mean follow up of 9,1 years (1-23)
