Abstract

Introduction: Wrist deformities are a challenging diagnosis.Through reporting two cases, we analyzed the interest of modified Sauve -Kapandji procedure in those pathologies.

Observation: The first patient was a boy 15-year-old. He got a modified Sauve -kapandji procedure for inferior radioulnar dislocation. After 9 years at follow up, functional outcome was excellent. The second patient was a girl 13-year-old. She got a modified Sauve -kapandji procedure for inferior radio-ulnar dislocation due to congenital Madelung deformity.

Discussion: Several procedures were described in management of wrist deformities. We recognized that modified Sauve -kapandji permitted an ulnar shortening and distal radio-ulnar stabilization.

Conclusion: Sauve -Kapandji procedure is reliable technique in surgical treatment of inferior radio-ulnar dislocation.
