Abstract:

For patients suffering from severe wrist joint damage, wrist arthroplasty offers an alternative solution that maintains partial wrist joint mobility, going beyond the limitations of total wrist arthrodesis surgery. This article provides an overview of the evolution of wrist arthroplasty, discussing the design principles and types of major wrist prosthesis developed over the years. It outlines the indications and contraindications, offering a concise summary of the current state and clinical outcomes of wrist arthroplasty based on clinical results. Additionally, prosthesis design concepts change in line with the advancing understanding of wrist joint biomechanics, thereby guiding the future trends and developments in wrist arthroplasty.

Key words: Wrist, Arthroplasty, Prothesis design, Reconstruction
