Hello!
Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) of the wrist is the most common pattern of degenerative arthritis in the wrist.
A limited wrist fusion with scaphoid excision is an option.
Discuss with your orthopedic surgeon.
A long arm splint is placed after the procedure.
After seven days, the splint is replaced with a long arm cast, which is maintained for 3 weeks.
Then, a short arm cast is placed and maintained for an additional 2-4 weeks. The cast and wires are removed when fusion is evident on radiographs.
