In this cadaveric study, we report quantitative dynamic four-dimensional CT evaluation of the effect on wrist kinematics of three intercarpal arthrodeses during radial and ulnar deviation. In five wrists, we successively performed scaphocapitate, four-corner and two-corner fusions. Four-dimensional CT examinations were performed prior to dissection and after each arthrodesis. The lunocapitate gap, posterior lunocapitate angle, radiolunate radial gap, radiolunate ulnar gap and radiolunate angle were assessed. After scaphocapitate arthrodesis, in radial deviation, we noted midcarpal diastasis and dorsal displacement of the capitate. In ulnar deviation, there was correction of that incongruence. After four-corner and two-corner fusions, in radial deviation, we noted radial radiolunate impingement and ulnar radiolunate incongruence. In ulnar deviation, after two-corner fusion, ulnar radiolunate impingement and radial radiolunate incongruence were present contrary to four-corner fusion. Our findings confirm that the constant radiocarpal and midcarpal congruence during radioulnar deviation in normal wrists is no longer possible with intercarpal kinematic modifications after these arthrodeses.
