Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2009
Summary:Arthroplasty of the wrist has been under progressive advancement for over 100 years. One of the earliest joints to be replaced, the wrist is still challenging and evolving through new designs and materials.

Meuli Total Wrist Arthroplasty
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984The wrist endoprosthesis developed and used since 1971 by the author is comparable to other designs of total joint implants. The completely unconstrained design has proved effective. It has sufficient stability, provided that the proper muscle balance is achieved at the end of the procedure.

Primary Total Wrist Arthroplasty
2021Total wrist arthroplasty provides pain relief, preserves motion, and improves function in degenerative post-traumatic conditions and in inflammatory autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Functional indications and expectations must be thoroughly discussed with the patient. Surgery aims to restore the natural balance between joint stability

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
The purpose of this study was to extend previous work to detect migration of total wrist arthroplasty non-invasively, and with greater accuracy. Two human cadaverous arms, each with a cemented total wrist implant, were used in this study. In one of the arms, 1 mm tantalum balls were implanted, six in the carpal bones and five in the radius.

Total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) is still today a very controversial issue but it has become a challenger of total wrist fusion (TWF). According to the literature TWA is rarely performed for Kienbock’s disease (KD). The indication is for the salvage of the painful wrist, in which TWF would be the only alternative option, which means a Lichtman stage IV ...

The Development of a Total Wrist Arthroplasty
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1976For many individuals the preservation of wrist motion is essential for augmentation of fine motor control of the hand and fingers. When significant functional disability exists at the wrist, currently available surgical treatment includes soft tissue arthroplasty, carpectomy, or arthrodesis.

Prosthetic Design in Total Wrist Arthroplasty
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2016Total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) provides a motion-preserving alternative to total wrist arthrodesis for low-demand patients with debilitating pancarpal arthritis. The earlier generation total wrist implants had high complication and failure rates. Advances in prosthetic design have contributed to improved clinical outcomes and implant survivorship.

Total wrist arthroplasty: A preliminary report
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1977Evaluation of 26 Meuli total wrist arthroplasties in 22 patients 7 to 17 months after operation revealed that 92 percent (24 wrists) were relieved of pain. Postoperative motion averaged 32 degrees of dorsiflexion. 27 degrees of palmar flexion, 2 degrees of radial deviation, and 23 degrees of ulnar deviation.

Clinical Outcomes of Total Wrist Arthroplasty
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2012Current indications for total wrist arthroplasty include patients with symptomatic end stage posttraumatic wrist arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Kienböck disease, as an alternative to wrist arthrodesis. Arthroplasty may have advantage over arthrodesis because of the ability to retain motion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term

Dynamic assessment of the wrist after total wrist arthroplasty
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2017Our aim was to assess the outcome in patients with total wrist arthroplasty performed for end stage wrist osteoarthritis. We analysed the ranges of motion of operated and un-operated wrists using a flexible electrogoniometer during the Sollerman hand function test.
