The wrist joint unites the hand with the forearm and is a complex articulation which affords two degrees of freedom to the hand: antero-posterior and transverse. These movements, together with those of pronation-supination of the forearm, position the hand for its delicate prehensile function. The wrist associates mechanically the radiocarpal joint and

The wrist joint is involved in a great majority of cases of rheumatoid arthritis. Tenosynovitis and synovitis can lead to severe destruction of the joint and to spontaneous ruptures of the tendons. Therefore, early tenosynovectomy and wrist-joint synovectomy are required. At the advanced stage of the disease, arthroplasty is necessary.

Subtotal Arthrodeses of the Wrist Joint
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984The goal of subtotal arthrodesis of the wrist is to provide a stable and pain-free joint, with preservation of a limited but useful range of motion. Experience indicates that the available mobility of the joints that are left unfused tends to increase with time and use of the extremity, and that accelerated wear of these joints has not been a problem ...

Disk lesion of the wrist joint
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1986Thirty-three patients with lesions of the articular disk of the wrist joint were treated. Predictability of results is best when there is an isolated lesion without osteoarthritis or severe dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. However, good results can be obtained in combined injuries (for example, after a Colles' fracture). Thirty of the thirty-

Wrist joint arthrodesis. Technique and outcome
Der Orthopäde, 1999Arthrodesis of the wrist joint is indicated in degenerative joint desease, instability and restricted and painful range of motion. Further indications are: failed reconstruction, partial arthrodesis or arthroplasty/total joint replacement. The surgical technique depends mainly on the quality of bone substance and degree of joint degeneration ...

Arthrodesis of the wrist joint in rheumatoid arthritis
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1980Fifty six fusions of the wrist joint were performed using a slight modification of the method described by Mannerfelt and Malmsten (1971). All but one of the patients had rheumatoid arthritis. The patients were reviewed one to eight years after the operation. Ankylosis in useful position was achieved in nearly 100 per cent of the cases.
