Four-corner arthrodesis is commonly performed for advanced collapse patterns of wrist arthritis. Reduction the capitolunate (CL) angle during four-corner fusion crucial to allow greatest radiocarpal joint arc motion. Previous studies demonstrate variable inter- and intraobserver reliability measuring CL angle. However, in a fusion, hardware implementation scaphoid excision can complicate carpal alignment measurements. The purpose this study investigate parameters following arthrodesis.
