We present a case of revision Swanson wrist arthroplasty staged via a wrist fusion in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Due to extensive bone loss in the rheumatoid patient, it may not be possible initially to revise a wrist arthroplasty; however after fusion with a bone graft to regain bone stock we have demonstrated that this is possible. It may even be possible to convert such a fusion to a total wrist arthroplasty.
我们报告了一例类风湿关节炎患者通过腕关节融合术分期进行Swanson腕关节置换翻修的病例。由于类风湿患者存在广泛的骨质流失，最初可能无法进行腕关节置换翻修；然而，在通过植骨融合以恢复骨量后，我们证明这是可行的。甚至有可能将这种融合转换为全腕关节置换。
