Clinical outcomes of total wrist arthroplasty.

Purpose: Current indications for total wrist arthroplasty include patients with symptomatic end stage posttraumatic wrist arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Kienböck disease, as an alternative to wrist arthrodesis. Arthroplasty may have advantage over arthrodesis because of the ability to retain motion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes and complications of the Maestro Total Wrist System.
