The Sauve-Kapandji procedure was performed on 21 patients with posttraumatic lesions between May of 1985 and May of 1991; average clinical and radiological follow-up was 3.4 years. Causal mechanisms were as follows: 12 cases were sequelae of fractures of the distal extremity of the radius; 5 cases were sequelae of fractures of the diaphyses of the two forearm bones and/or of the head of the radius; 2 cases of instability of the distal radio-ulnar joint; 2 cases of posttraumatic isolated arthritis of the distal radio-ulnar joint. Subjective evaluation by the patients of the results of surgery was as follows: 8 excellent, 6 good, 2 satisfactory and 5 poor. The most consistent improvement was a gain of mobility in pronation and supination which averaged 87 per cent of that of the healthy contralateral side. Nine patients were free of pain, 6 experienced some pain only during effort, and 6 still suffered constant pain. Grip strength was the factor that changed the most: it averaged 55 per cent of that of the healthy contralateral side. Indications for the Sauve-Kapandji procedure and its results in posttraumatic lesions are discussed. This procedure is compared to other techniques used to correct posttraumatic disorders of the distal radio-ulnar joint.
