Midcarpal tenodeses versus partial arthrodeses for stage II SLAC/SNAC wrists: Long-term outcomes from a single-surgeon comparative series

Key Points

• The aim is to compare long-term outcomes between midcarpal tenodeses and partial arthrodeses for stage II SLAC/SNAC wrists.
• Comparative series focusing on outcomes of midcarpal tenodeses and partial arthrodeses
• Single-surgeon approach to ensure consistent technique
• Assessment of wrist function and cartilage condition over time
• Midcarpal tenodeses and partial arthrodeses demonstrated similarly durable outcomes
• Tenodeses maintained more wrist motion compared to arthrodeses
• Partial arthrodeses provided more stability in cases with cartilage degeneration
