چکیده
Total wrist arthroplasty are not used as widely as total knee and hip replacement. The functional hands are requiring surgeons to design a durable and functional satisfying prosthesis. This article will list the main reasons that cause the failure of the prosthesis. Some remarkable and representative prostheses are listed to show the devolvement of total wrist prosthesis and their individual special innovations to fix the problems. And the second part we will discuss the part that biomechanical elements act in the total wrist replacement (TWA). Summarize and find out what the real problem is and how we can find a way to fix it.

متن کاملDoes Total Wrist Arthroplasty for Treatment of Posttraumatic Wrist Joint Osteoarthritis in Young Patients Always Lead to Restriction of High-demand Activities of Daily Living? Case Report and Brief Review of Recent Literature
BACKGROUND Posttraumatic ulnar carpal translocation is a very rare condition that is caused either by fracture-dislocation injury or by purely ligamentous injury of the wrist. Its prognosis is poor and development of posttraumatic pancarpal wrist joint osteoarthritis is inevitable, and options for treatment are total wrist fusion or total wrist arthroplasty. METHODS A 24-year-old male sustain...
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...
