    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis commonly causes wrist deformities, leading to pain and limited mobility.
    • Surgical interventions are often necessary to manage severe wrist involvement in rheumatoid arthritis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of total wrist arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
    • To compare total wrist arthroplasty with arthrodesis for rheumatoid arthritis management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 101 patients who underwent total wrist arthroplasty.
    • Assessment of pain relief, mobility restoration, and technical complications.

    Main Results:

    • Total wrist arthroplasty demonstrated satisfactory pain relief and improved mobility in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

  • Early technical challenges were overcome, with the current procedure being reliable.
  • The procedure is often preferred over arthrodesis for rheumatoid arthritis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Total wrist arthroplasty is a viable and preferred option for managing rheumatoid arthritis-related wrist deformities.
    • Contraindications include traumatic conditions and high-demand wrist use.
    • The procedure has evolved to become a reliable surgical solution.
