[Results of modified capitate bone dislocation in lunate bone malacia]

[Article in German]

Leitz G.

Long-term follow-up after simple "elongating osteotomy" of the capitate in aseptic necrosis of the lunate has failed to produce the good results which would clearly make this procedure the treatment of choice. The surprisingly high subjective evaluation does not correlate well with the prognostically poor X-ray appearances.
