Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Wrist arthroplasty is less common than other joint replacements, with less defined indications.
  • Radiocarpal arthrodesis (fusion) is the traditional treatment for painful arthritic wrists.
  • Advancements in surgical techniques and implant technology are increasing wrist arthroplasty use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a historical overview of total wrist arthroplasty.
  • To review commonly used wrist arthroplasty implants in the United States.
  • To discuss outcomes, complications, surgical techniques, and salvage options for wrist arthroplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of total wrist arthroplasty history.
  • Review of commonly used total wrist implants in the US.

  • Discussion of surgical outcomes, complications, and salvage procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Total wrist arthroplasty is increasingly utilized due to technological improvements.
    • The review covers results, complications, technical aspects, and salvage options for wrist implants.
    • Specific implant types and their associated outcomes are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Wrist arthroplasty is an evolving treatment option for wrist arthritis.
    • Understanding implant outcomes, complications, and salvage is crucial for surgeons.
    • Further research may refine indications and improve long-term results for total wrist arthroplasty.
