Removal of Cancellous Bone Graft through the Base of the Excised Radial Styloid ProcessFrom the Department of Hand Surgery, Hôpital Jeanne dArc, Nancy, France Correspondence: Dr P. Voche, MD, Department of Hand Surgery, Hôpital Jeanne dArc, CHRU, Nancy, 54201 Dommatin les Toul, France. In performing STT arthrodesis, the excision of the tip of the radial styloid avoids further radial styloid impingement. Cancellous bone graft can be obtained through the base of the excised radial styloid, using a trephine or a curette. The amount of bone removed is sufficient for intercarpal arthrodesis.
