Arthroscopic Resection of Lunotriquetral Coalition.

ABSTRACT: Carpal coalition is a rare condition caused by a failure in the process of apoptosis. It is often incidentally diagnosed and seldomly symptomatic. The lunotriquetral joint is the most commonly affected joint, accounting for 90% of carpal coalitions. Minnaar classified the lunotriquetral coalitions into 4 types based on their type, extent, and associated abnormalities. Accurately classifying the coalition requires advanced imaging, and we show an example that includes 2-dimensional and 4-dimensional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Management of carpal coalitions include nonoperative and operative management. Splinting, anti-inflammatory drugs, hand therapy, activity modification, and steroid injections are all examples of nonoperative management. Operative management of
