CP ans Kienbocks
by Arinyth, Dec 25, 2007 02:11AM
I wasdiagnosed with Kienbock's in August. I have surgery next month. I found an article from 1998 that a doctor in Paris wrote that after proximal row carpectomy (PCR) was done to the patient that it helped with the spasticity in the hand. My question is has anyone else had proximal row carpectomy done and has it helped with the CP.
Thanks

I have also reviewed the case report that you have mentioned, about the young man whose spasticity was relieved after the carpectomy.
This was a case report published in 1998.
There are other studies published after 1998, which involved a number of patients assessed after the carpectomy. And they all have found a significant improvement in the range of motions at the wrist joint, with a reduction in the spasticity.
Hence, I would consider this surgery a good option.
All the very best to you.
