Pisotriquetral arthrodesis as an alternative to excision for pisotriquetral instability in high-demand patients: a case report in a gymnast.

UNLABELLED: A gymanast developed ulnar wrist pain caused by pisotriquetral instability. Pisotriquetral arthrodesis resulted in pain relief and sufficient functional return to allow her to return to gymnastics. Pisotriquetral arthrodesis is a feasible alternative to pisiform excision worth consideration in high-demand patients with symptomatic pisotriquetral instability or arthrosis. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, Level V.
