Novel approach for posttraumatic panarthritis of the wrist using a pyrocarbon interposition arthroplasty (Amandys(®)): Preliminary series of 11 patients.

Objectives: In case of posttraumatic radiocarpal destruction, failure of first row carpectomy or partial arthrodesis, there are two options, total prosthesis of the wrist or panarthrodesis. Both solutions have limitations. The aim of our study was to evaluate an alternative therapy: interposition arthroplasty with pyrocarbon implant at follow-up of minimum 6months.
