Influence of articular geometry on prosthetic wrist stability.

چکیده
Ellipsoid and toroid-shaped articulations for total wrist prostheses were evaluated using computer modeling and laboratory experiments. An ellipsoidal design was found to accommodate greater width of the concave proximal component, resulting in better capture and prosthetic stability than a toroid shape. An ellipsoid articulation also provides greater contact area through the available arc of motion. An ellipsoidal articulation is a reasonable design for total wrist arthroplasty.

Total 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 کاملA biomechanical comparison of fragment-specific fixation and augmented external fixation for intra-articular distal radius fractures.
The biomechanical stability of an internal fixation system that uses low-profile modular implants to stabilize individual fracture components was studied in a validated cadaver fracture model that incorporated physiologic muscle forces and wrist motion. Fragment-specific fixation with immediate range of motion was compared with static augmented external fixation in simulated, unstable 3- and 4-...
متن کاملArthroscopic Ablation of Osteoid Osteoma in the Wrist
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely involves joints. Although there are several reports of arthroscopic osteoid osteoma excisions, to our knowledge, there are no reports of this type of treatment for osteoid osteoma in carpal bones. We report two cases of arthroscopic (a person who had a pain in the left wrist and the other one with carpal tunnel syndrome) with excision of oste...
متن کاملStability of inter-joint coordination during circle drawing: effects of shoulder-joint articular properties.
The present study addressed the effect of articular conformity of the shoulder joint on the stability of inter-joint coordination during circular drawing movements. Twelve right-handed participants performed clockwise and counter-clockwise circular drawing movements at nine locations in the mid-sagittal plane. The task was paced acoustically at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 Hz and performed without visual c...
متن کاملNew-generation implant arthroplasties of the finger joints.
Prosthetic replacement in the hand must address such unique challenges as preservation of the collateral ligaments, tendon balancing, and stability. Some recently developed implant arthroplasties of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints have anatomically designed articular components; others have non-cemented, press-fit, carefully contoured intramedullary stems. The ration...
