[Ulnar-carpal impingement after XXXX of the distal radius].

@entity1 @entity85 @entity174 @entity4040
The authors describe the group of 23 @entity1 (16 @entity1 , 7 @entity1 ), who were operated during 2000-2003 on ulna-carpal impingement or the syndrome of ulna impact on the basis of "plus variant" of ulna or also "long ulna". There was a @entity174 of distal radius in anamnesis of all these @entity1 . The condition was solved in 18 @entity1 (mean age 51 years) by reducing the ulna by 4.5 cm on the average (range 2-10 mm). In five @entity1 (mean age 49 years), the radius-ulna desis sec. Sauv  -Kapandij was performed. The results are evaluated with the time lapse of 6 months on the average (range 3-26). The resulting evaluation indicates that in all @entity1 , who were not affected by radius-ulna @entity4040 , a simple reduction of ulna resulted in an improvement of the extent of movements and improved subjective complaints. @entity1 with radius-ulna @entity4040 , where the ulna-carpal impingement was solved by radius-ulna desis, suffer from worse long-term functional results. The authors also analyze complications of the interventions. @entity85 in the area of distal forearm should be solved early before degenerative changes develop. The is the only way how to expect good results of the operation and favorable effect for the @entity1 .
