Effect of Total Wrist Arthroplasty Alignment on Wrist Range of Motion and Component Impingement

Key Points

• Alignment significantly affects wrist range of motion and component impingement during total wrist arthroplasty.
• Findings indicate a notable improvement in range of motion measured as an increase of 15 degrees post-surgery.
• Assessment of wrist motion involved pre- and post-operative analysis over a six-month period with 50 participants.
• Support for precise alignment strategies in total wrist arthroplasty aims to enhance surgical outcomes, leading to better patient recovery.
