Introduction:

  • This treatment can help effectively in relieving the pain caused due to wrist arthritis and bring the patients in motion.
  • This type of surgery can increase your movement by 50% of what you are currently having.

The wrist replacement surgery:

  • During the wrist replacement surgery, the wrist joint and the worn-out cartilages are replaced with an artificial joint. The surgery is mainly done to retain as well as recover the wrist movements and improve the grip strength.

Conditions that lead to wrist replacement treatment:

  • Osteoarthritis, which is caused due to wearing away of the cartilage that covers the bones.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis, which is an inflammatory disease that results in pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.

    How to prepare for the surgery:
  • After the diagnosis,  surgeon will explain the surgery and the expected benefits and complication to you before proceeding with the surgery.
  • Also, the rehabilitation program that you will be required to do post-surgery will be explained.

  • To avoid throbbing and swelling, the hand should be elevated above the heart level for a good number of days.
  • The wrist replacement can last for 10 to 15 years, particularly with the new design of wrist replacement.bookanappointment (1)
