Parallel K-Wire Placement Leads to Fusion and Midcarpal Settling in Scaphoid Excision Four-Corner Fusion.

Parallel K-wire placement across the midcarpal joints with scaphoid leads to a high rate of fusion with good patient outcomes long term. Midcarpal settling that occurs through dynamic compression around the K-wires may have contributed to bony fusion. This technique may provide an alternative approach to achieving reliable fusion across the midcarpal joints.
