Madelung deformity is a growth disorder affecting the distalradial epiphysis presented usually near skeletal maturity withwrist pain, deformity, and limitation of wrist motion.Methods:Ten patients (13 wrists) with idiopathic Madelung deformitywere treated with the Sauve-Kapandji procedure. The mean ageat the time of operation was 21.8 yr old. The mean follow-up was16.2 mo.Results:The ulnar head united successfully tothe distal radius in all patients.The mean time of union was 10.3 wk. At the final follow up, all wristswere painless. The mean VAS of pain during stressful conditionsimproved from 6.2 to 2.3. The grip strength improved from 6.7 to13.2. The mean DASH score improved from 41.9 to 13.2.Conclusions:The Sauve-Kapandji procedure is relatively simple procedurecompared to radial osteotomy. It decreases pain and improvesstrength of wrists with Madelung deformity (3) (PDF) Management of idiopathic Madelung deformity with Sauve-Kapandji procedure.
