Abstract

This study examined patterns of bone mineral density (BMD) of the wrist by computed tomography - absorptiometry to evaluate force transmission patterns in vivo in patients with complaints of wrist instability requiring lunate-capitate-triquetrum-hamate (LCTH) arthrodesis. These patterns represent long-term force transmission through the wrist joint because BMD differs under different loading conditions. BMD studies of the wrist joint in vivo can evaluate the long-term force transmission through the joint under physiological and pathological conditions and before and after wrist surgery. The scaphoid fossa is relatively unloaded after LCTH arthrodesis, and a decrease in BMD is observed in the lunate fossa.
