Summary
This study determined indications for wrist joint endoprosthesis surgery. Materials like Butakryl, protokryl, or silicon rubber yielded good long-term outcomes in 23 patients.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Biomaterials science
Context:
- Wrist joint diseases and injuries can lead to significant functional impairment.
- Endoprosthetic replacement is a potential treatment option for severe wrist conditions.
Purpose:
- To establish clear indications for wrist joint endoprosthesis based on clinical experience.
- To evaluate the efficacy of different materials for wrist joint endoprostheses.
Summary:
- The study analyzed 23 patients with wrist joint diseases and sequelae of injuries.
- Indications for endoprosthesis were determined, recommending Butakryl, protokryl, or silicon rubber as suitable materials.
- Good long-term results were achieved in the operated patients.
Impact:
- Provides guidance for orthopedic surgeons on patient selection for wrist joint endoprosthesis.
- Highlights the potential of specific biomaterials for successful wrist joint reconstruction.
- Demonstrates the effectiveness of endoprosthetic treatment for improving long-term wrist function.
