Within the hand, the wrist is the most affected joint by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Wrist fusion (WF) and wrist arthroplasty (WA) are solutions for severe arthritis of the wrist. WA decreases pain, and, contrary to WF, preserves motion. Reported clinical results of modern prosthesis constructs are good and the patients are satisfied. This research presents a patient with RA treated with WA. The follow-up is 13 years. There were 2 further synovectomies. Some bone erosion was observed. Apart from that, the patient is satisfied with WA. It seems that WA should be considered earlier in the treatment scheme in patients with RA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
