In the original version of this article, there are typing mistakes. In the abstract, “Purpose” section which previously read
Anzeige
To study the clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes after of radioscapholunate (RSL) fusion for intraarticular malunion of the distal radius.

In the abstract, “Results” section which previously read
Anzeige
All patients showed complete healing at the fusion site after a mean of 8.7 weeks (range, 8–12). The mean followup period was 72 months (range, 60–84). The pinch strength improved from a mean of 6.2 kg (range, 3–12) to a mean of 9.8 kg (range, 5–18) which represents 80% of the contralateral side. The mean pinch strength was 7 kg (range, 5–18) which presents 80% of the other side. VAS for pain showed a mean improvement of 72.6%. The DASH score improved to a mean of 19.2 (range, 14–24). The MMWS improved to a mean of 68 (range, 45–86). At the final follow-up period, no degenerative changes were detected in the midcarpal joint.

Grip strength improved to a mean of 24.7 kg (range, 12–42). Pinch strength improved to a mean of 9.8 kg (range, 5–18). VAS for pain improved to a mean of 16.1 (range, 10–20). The DASH score improved to a mean of 19.2 (range, 14–24). The MMWS improved to a mean of 68.7 (range, 45–85). At the final follow-up period, no degenerative changes were detected in the midcarpal joint.
In the “Introduction” section, second sentence which previously read
This type of limited wrist fusion has proved to be a reliable and safe procedure to improve pain and maintain some wrist motion in patients that had signs of posttraumatic osteoarthritic changes limited to the radiocarpal articulation [1].

In the “Outcome evaluation” section, second sentence which previously read
Anzeige
The primary outcome measure was union of arthrodesis. Successful fusion was defined as the crossing of clear bony trabeculae from the radius to the carpus on plain posteroanterior and lateral wrist radiographs.

In the “Discussion” section, first sentence of the second paragraph which previously read

The results of this concerning the range of motion are consistent with the studies that examine the wrist motion from a functional standpoint (the dart-throwing motion) [17].

In the “Discussion” section, second sentence of the third paragraph which previously read
Anzeige
Other studies showed that although DSE may improve short-term range of motion, but it comes at the cost of increasing the contact pressure in the remaining midcarpal joint (mainly the lunocapitate joint) that further increases the incidence of midcarpal arthritis [23–25].

In the “Discussion” section, first sentence of the seventh paragraph which previously read
This is a large series of patients with a long follow-up, done and followed-up by one group of surgeons.

In the last row of the Table 3, first column should be “Our series” instead of “Our series 2021” and second column should be “Retrospective” instead of “Prospective” and eleventh column should be “68.7” instead of “68” and thirteenth column should be “24.7 kg (70% of the sound side)” instead of “24 kg (70% of the sound side)”. The correct Table 3 should have been.
