The Gory Movies
For those of you interested in learning more about a proximal row carpectomy, I’ve put some links to videos and I have watched on YouTube below. Some of them are outdated but are very useful if you want to know all the gory details about the procedure. Please note that in my procedure the surgeon made a very small incision on the top of my wrist and another small incision at the base of my thumb as opposed to the very large incision you see in these videos.
As an x-ray technologist I’ve shot a lot of wrists and can see the issues in mine very clearly (but IANAD!!!) I’ve asked to watch but he has to clear it with the surg center. I’ve seen some messy stuff (ask your doc about a nailing) and I can hypnotis myself to detach from the procedure on the other side of the curtain.
I’ve seen those videos but thanks for posting them.
