Prospective study of a new total wrist arthroplasty: Short term results

Review Article: Total Wrist Arthroplasty

“…In addition to the meta-analysis for second-and third-generation implants, 7 this review added 8 new studies of fourth-generation implants, 6,8,9,12,13,16,22,23 3 new studies of third-generation implants, 14,15,17 and one long-term registry study. 18 TWA tends to fail earlier than hip or knee arthroplasties, but TWA has better short-term outcome.…”

“…14 of the studies reported pain relief, 6,[8][9][10][11][12][13]15,17,[19][20][21][22][23] but only 8 used validated scales, and the rest used ordinal scales, severity, and/or frequency to measure pain. Using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, 2 studies reported improvement in the mean score from 8 to 2 (p<0.05) 9 and from 67 to 27 (p<0.001), 23 but one study reported no significant improvement.…”

“…extension, flexion, ulnar deviation, radial deviation, pronation, and supination) and grip strength, based on several wrist scoring systems. 6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][19][20][21][22][23] Eight studies used the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire or its shortened version. 9,12,[14][15][16][17]22,23 The DASH questionnaire consists of 30 items related to activities of daily living and symptoms.…”

RE-MOTIONTM total wrist arthroplasty for treatment of advanced stage of scaphoid non-union advanced collapse. Does excision of the entire scaphoid bone prevent impingement at terminal range of radial deviation?

“…First, the development of the implant, its design, and early results with a small number of patients have been described in 2008 by Gupta [8]. Second, in 2011 Herzberg [9] published first encouraging short term results with a larger number of patients (N=19, 20 TWAs). Recent evidence with the use of the RE-MOTION TM total wrist revealed a cumulative 8-year implant surveillance of 92% in a prospective international multicenter study with 215 cases [10].…”
