Q

When would you use a DCP (dynamic compression plate) on a carpal injury?

A

When you want to perform a pancarpal arthodesis because the antebrahiocarpal joint is abnormal and all 3 joints need to be fused (do in conjunction w/removal of all cartilage and cancellous bone graft)

Place on dorsal surface

BEST TREATMENT FOR CARPAL LUXATIONS, antebrachial carpal injuries

More commonly done tha partial carpal arthodesis
