Trends in the Utilization of Total Wrist Arthroplasty versus Wrist Fusion for Treatment of Advanced Wrist Arthritis.
BACKGROUND Total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) provides the requisite range of motion to accomplish activities of daily living, especially for low-demand patients with bilateral wrist arthritis. However, there are no large epidemiologic studies to evaluate nationwide trends of TWA and wrist fusion (WF). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES To analyze data collected from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to compar...
متن کاملThe total wrist arthroplasty
Traditional management of wrist arthritis consists of proximal row carpectomy, partial carpal fusions, or, in the event of pancarpal arthritis, total wrist fusion. Although proximal row carpectomy and partial wrist fusions preserve some motion at the wrist while relieving pain symptoms, the quality of results obtained from these procedures is not predictable or optimal in many instances. Total ...
متن کاملA systematic review of total wrist arthroplasty compared with total wrist arthrodesis for rheumatoid arthritis.
BACKGROUND Management of the end-stage rheumatoid wrist is controversial. The most common treatment is total wrist fusion. Total wrist arthroplasty offers a motion-preserving alternative. Comparison of outcomes for total wrist arthroplasty and total wrist fusion is necessary for evidence-based decision making. The purpose of this systematic review was to scientifically evaluate the existing lit...
متن کاملTotal Wrist Arthroplasty.
Total wrist arthroplasty using current design implants has evolved into a fairly predictable procedure for rheumatoid, osteoarthritic, and posttraumatic patients. Although complications can occur, the incidence of these has dropped over the past decade with implant design modifications. The article summarizes the current use of total wrist arthroplasty and touches on issues of revision surgery,...
متن کاملBiaxial total-wrist arthroplasty.
Sixty-four consecutive biaxial total wrist arthroplasties performed in 52 patients between March 1983 and June 1988 were reviewed. Fifty-seven cases involving 45 patients were followed for a minimum of 5 years or until failure. Of the remaining 7 patients, 6 had died and 1 was lost to follow-up study. For the 46 intact implants in living patients, the mean follow-up period was 6.5 years (range,...
