The correction of rheumatoid ulnar drift by silicone prostheses with tendon transfer. 1979

H T Sakellarides

Fifty hands with rheumatoid ulnar drift treated by resection of the metacarpal heads and replacement with silicone prostheses were studied. The procedure is outlined which consists of an arthroplasty using a silicone prosthesis with tendon transfer. The complications are also studied and the results evaluated. Of the cases studied 20% were excellent, 40% were good, and 40% fair.
