This chapter details the steps in performing the Sauvé-Kapandji Procedure. The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is exposed and a segment of the ulnar shaft is resected. Kirschner wires are placed through the ulnar head and the arthrodesis site is packed with autologous bone grafts and fixed with two cannulated screws. Indications, essential steps, postoperative care, and sample operative dictation are included.
