Osteoarthritis of the wrist presents complex surgical challenges. A wide variety of surgical options are available when conservative management fails to provide adequate pain relief. Despite advancements in management, such as modifications of partial wrist arthrodesis techniques and increasing use of total wrist replacements, in most scenarios there is no single preferred option. The surgeon's role is crucial in assessing the patient and creating a bespoke treatment strategy that will provide an optimal outcome. This article presents an approach to management of the degenerate wrist based on current evidence.

Article Synopsis
- Total wrist arthrodesis is an option for treating severe wrist osteoarthritis after other treatments fail, serving as a last-resort procedure.
- Patients generally report satisfaction post-surgery, but may still experience pain and limited wrist movement.
- Frequent complications arise, often relating to incomplete bone fusion or hardware issues, and further research is needed to determine the best implant and treatment approach.

This article focuses on the evidence base and our experience as a tertiary unit in managing this cohort of patients. A systematic and meticulous approach is required to attempt to minimize complications.

Osteoarthritis of the scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal joint is frequent but often pain-free or well tolerated with non-surgical treatment. Surgical options are numerous and none seems to have clear evidence of superiority. In addition to well-established procedures, such as scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal joint arthrodesis, distal scaphoid resection and trapeziectomy, more recent surgical techniques have been reported.

Aims: Overall sagittal flexion is restricted in patients who have undergone both lumbar fusion and total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it is not evident to what extent this movement is restricted in these patients and how this influences quality of life (QoL). The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which hip-lumbar mobility is decreased in these patients, and how this affects their QoL score.
