Abstract

In a series of 48 painfully restricted wrists denervation was used during a 6-year period on wide indications as a surgical alternative. The observation time averaged 2.4 years. Pain relief occurred in 56% of the patients. Considering the simplicity of the method and the lack of serious complications, it is concluded that denervation of the wrist is worth trying as a palliative measure prior to more extensive surgery.
