Darrach and Sauve-Kapandji Procedures
Darrach and Sauve-Kapandji Procedures in Wayne, Paramus, and Parsippany NJ
This procedure is for patients with chronic DRUJ (distal radioulna joint) instability or DRUJ arthritis.
Darrach Procedure
A Darrach procedure is reserved for patients with chronic DRUJ (distal radioulna joint) instability or DRUJ arthritis. This surgical procedure involves resection of the ulnar head which eliminates the rubbing of the distal portion of the ulna on the sigmoid notch of the radius.
Sauve-Kapandji Procedure
Sauve -Kapandji procedure involves fusion of the ulnar head to the radius and resection of a portion of the distal ulnar shaft. This allows the structures of the TFCC to remain intact while eliminating pain at the DRUJ. Resecting a portion of the distal ulnar shaft preserves the ability of the arm to supinate and pronate (turning your palm up and down).
