Abstract
We report the functional results in a series of 21 Sutter arthroplasties for post-traumatic arthritis with an average follow-up of more than 2 years. The dorsal approach was used in every case. Pain was always present preoperatively and mobility was reduced to an average range of motion of 15°. Postoperatively, pain was absent in 18 cases. The average active range of motion was 55°. There were two fractures of implants. Although the follow-up is limited, the Sutter arthroplasty has given results that are similar to, or better than, those reported for other techniques.
