Total 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,...
متن کاملTotal wrist arthroplasty.
Total wrist arthroplasty preserves motion and improves hand function for daily tasks and lower-demand vocational and a vocational activities. It is often preferable to fusion when both wrists are arthritic. Newer prosthetic designs provide a functional range of motion, better wrist balance,reduced risk of loosening, and better implant stability than older designs. The success of total wrist art...
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 کاملTotal Wrist Arthroplasty
In 1890, Themistocles Gluck performed the first total wrist replacement, implanting an ivory ball-and-socket prosthesis in a 19-year-old male patient with tuberculosis. Although Gluck’s first patients suffered from persistent infection, his subsequent patients demonstrated good long-term results. Despite initial successes, the use of wrist arthroplasty has made slow progress within the orthopae...
