Fifty patients with wrist arthritis mainly secondary to a scaphoid pseudarthrosis (44%) or a Kienböck disease (22%) were operated on by one surgeon by "total" denervation. With a post-operative follow up of 5 years, pain, strength and range of movement were reviewed. Four complications are by means of stressed: one painful neuroma and three radial nerve paresthesiae. 72% of the patients had pain improvement with an average of 72 points on a scale of 100 points. Strength and range of movement were not significantly improved.
