Summary

Total wrist arthroplasty generally improves pain and function. However, outcomes vary, with higher revision and complication rates for older implants compared to newer ones.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitative Medicine

Background:

  • Total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) is a surgical option for debilitating wrist conditions.
  • Evaluating the efficacy and safety of TWA is crucial for clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the English-language literature on total wrist arthroplasty outcomes.
  • To analyze pain reduction, functional improvement, implant survival, and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE database was conducted for studies published between January 2003 and April 2013.
  • Keywords used included 'total wrist arthroplasty'.
  • A meta-analysis was performed on available data, focusing on revision and complication rates for different implant generations.

Main Results:

  • Most studies indicated improvements in pain and function following TWA.
  • The revision rate for third-generation implants was 17%.
  • Fourth-generation implants demonstrated a 92% survival rate at 4 years, with complication rates ranging from 6% to 47% compared to 0% to 100% for third-generation implants.

Conclusions:

  • Total wrist arthroplasty can lead to positive outcomes in pain and function.
  • Significant variations in results exist, particularly concerning implant generations.
  • Further long-term studies are necessary to establish the cost-effectiveness of TWA.
