Sauve-Kapandji for Distal Radius Fracture

The document reports a case study of a 25-year-old male patient who had a malunited distal radius fracture that was initially treated conservatively but resulted in pain and limited wrist movement. The patient underwent a modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure to address instability of the distal radioulnar joint. At a 6-month follow up, the patient had no pain and improved pronation and supination range of motion. The conclusion is that the modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure provided marked pain reduction and better forearm rotation, making it a reliable surgical option for treating malunited distal radius fractures when previous treatments have failed.
