ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In wrist salvage, proximal row carpectomy (PRC) has increasingly shown superior outcomes to four-corner fusion (4CF). Furthermore, PRC with resurfacing capitate pyrocarbon implants (PRC + RCPIs) provides a treatment option that may allow patients to avoid 4CF or wrist arthrodesis and help restore natural joint function and distribute loads evenly across the implant, though RCPI has yet to be evaluated on a large scale. We aimed to compare outcomes between PRC and PRC + RCPI for the treatment of scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) wrists.METHODS:
A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane were queried for articles on PRC and PRC + RCPI performed for SLAC and SNAC wrist with minimum 12-month follow-up. Primary outcomes included wrist range of motion (ROM), grip strength, and outcome scores including Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and QuickDASH scores, Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE), and visual analog scale pain scores.RESULTS:
Twenty-two studies reporting on 1,804 wrists were included (1,718 PRC alone, 86 PRC + RCPI). PRC + RCPI was associated with greater postoperative radial deviation, but poorer flexion. PRC + RCPI also had significantly lower postoperative QuickDASH (less disability and symptoms) and postoperative PRWHE (lower pain and disability) scores and an improvement in PRWHE compared with PRC. There was no significant difference in grip strength.CONCLUSION:
PRC + RCPI demonstrated similar postoperative ROM to PRC alone. While PRC + RCPI was associated with more favorable outcome scores, further research is needed to confirm these findings and assess the incidence and profile of complications related to RCPIs.
