Recurrence rate and patient-reported outcomes after wedge excision of carpal boss J. Plast. Reconstr. Aesthet. Surg. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Anne M. Raymakers, Mark J.W. van der Oest, Liron S. Duraku, Caroline A. Hundepool, J. Michiel Zuidam, Guus M. Vermeulen
The treatment of carpal boss is primarily conservative. Surgical treatment by performing a wedge excision of the bony protrusion, is possible. However, a common belief exists that carpal boss should not be operated because of the high recurrence rate. Additionally, little is known about the clinical outcomes of wedge excision and the preferred post-operative treatment. Patients with carpal boss and
