Abstract
Wrist arthroplasty was originally introduced in the early 1970s as an attempt to maintain or improve wrist motion, relieve pain, and increase function. It was hoped that total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) would become a superior alternative to wrist arthrodesis. However, subsequent results of total wrist implants have not been as successful as originally warranted. Failures, usually due to dislocation, tendon imbalance, continued pain, or postoperative complications, are often unacceptably high in early- to intermediate-term outcome studies.
