Total joint arthroplasty of the wrist is a feasible and satisfactory solution to the problems of patients who have significant wrist pain or severe limitation of motion, or both. It is particularly useful in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or with post-traumatic or degenerative arthritis of the wrist. In geriatric patients, this procedure appears to be a satisfactory alternative to wrist joint arthrodesis. Proper placement of the device and proper surgical technique to simulate the normal balance and motion of the wrist are necessary.
腕关节全关节置换术对于有明显腕部疼痛或严重活动受限或两者皆有的患者来说，是一种可行且令人满意的解决方案。它在类风湿关节炎患者或腕部创伤后或退行性关节炎患者中尤其有用。在老年患者中，该手术似乎是腕关节融合术的一种令人满意的替代方法。正确放置植入装置以及采用适当的手术技术来模拟腕关节的正常平衡和运动是必要的。
