We report three patients aged from 22 to 34 years, in whom ulnocarpal abutment developed after wrist arthrodesis. Two were treated by excision of the triquetrum and one by excision of the pisiform. The three patients were seen after wrist fusion because of ulnar wrist pain on forearm rotation, which was relieved by excision of a carpal bone. Two patients had had wrist arthrodesis because of wrist pain resulting from degenerative arthritis and silicone synovitis resulting from silicone rubber replacement of the lunate as treatment for Kienböck's disease. One patient had had a wrist arthrodesis to treat degenerative arthritis after an intra-articular distal radius fracture. The arthrodeses were all done with an A. O. plate and iliac crest bone graft. One patient gained forearm rotation after the excision of the carpal bone and none of the patients lost rotation. The average follow-up was 16 months.

Three squash racquets and one badminton player presented with pain in the base of the hypothenar eminence, due to minor degrees of subluxation of the pisiform bone. Two of them also showed chondromalacia of the articular cartilage of the pisotriquetral joint. All four patients were relieved by excision of the pisiform bone and had returned to their normal daily and sporting activities within three months of their operation.

Erosions on the triquetrum and pisiform are frequent in early rheumatoid arthritis and occur characteristically at 3 sites. (a) A shallow erosion on the proximal medial triquetral "bare" area is related to synovial proliferation at the margin of the radiocarpal cavity, although compressive forces from an adjacent long ulnar styloid may be contributory; (b) an erosive abnormality on the distal medial triquetrum is related to synovial proliferation along the margin of the midcarpal joint; and (c) ring-like erosions on apposing surfaces of the triquetrum and pisiform are produced by pannus within the pisiform-triquetral compartment.
