Abstract
Partial arthrodesis of the wrist was performed on six cadavers in order to study the residual excursion of the wrist. Arthrodesis between the radius and scaphoid left 40 per cent extension/flexion and 61 per cent radial/ulnar deviation. Arthrodesis between the radius, scaphoid and lunate left 36 per cent extension/flexion and 59 per cent radial/ulnar deviation. Arthrodesis between the capitate, scaphoid and lunate left 59 per cent extension/flexion and 91 per cent radial/ulnar deviation.Keywords
