The earliest wrist arthrodesis procedures consisted of decortication and combinations of corticocancellous bone grafts keyed into accurately cut slots and keyways. (medscape.com)
The development of internal fixation with plates and screws revolutionized wrist arthrodesis and almost completely eliminated the need for external immobilization. (medscape.com)
Currently, state-of-the-art total wrist arthrodesis employs the use of a specifically designed dynamic compression plate, which allows rigid fixation with larger screws proximally and smaller screws distally to reduce the risk of fracturing the metacarpals. (medscape.com)
Total wrist arthrodesis aims to eliminate pain at the expense of motion while providing a stable platform for power grip. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Perineal care and manipulating the hand in confined spaces are the most commonly reported limitations following total wrist arthrodesis. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Total wrist arthrodesis and total wrist arthroplasty share the common goal of relieving pain in the wrist ravaged by degenerative, posttraumatic, inflammatory, neoplastic, or congenital conditions. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Swanson developed the first wrist implant as an alternative to wrist arthrodesis aiming to maintain sufficient wrist motion to perform all daily activities without limitation. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
In global brachial plexus injuries and lower root injures when the wrist and hand functions are lost, wrist arthrodesis is a viable option. (edu.pk)
In other cases, when there are some residual hand functions, wrist arthrodesis stabilizes the wrist as well as provides donor muscles tendons to enhance finger functions. (edu.pk)
Apart from these, wrist arthrodesis increase grip strength and power, and also wrist in extension assume a better shape cosmetically. (edu.pk)
Purpose: Wrist arthrodesis, first carpometacarpal joint arthrodesis, and thumb interphalangeal joint arthrodesis can be used in conjunction with other reconstructive measures to improve function and grasp in patients with complete brachial plexus injuries. (elsevierpure.com)
This study evaluates wrist arthrodesis, first carpometacarpal joint arthrodesis, and thumb interphalangeal joint arthrodesis as measured by fusion rate, complications, and clinical outcomes. (elsevierpure.com)
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for 24 skeletally mature patients with brachial plexus injuries treated with wrist arthrodesis by a dorsal plating technique, first carpometacarpal joint arthrodesis by staples, and thumb interphalangeal joint arthrodesis by a tension band wiring technique.

Contraindications to triple arthrodesis include conditions that can be adequately corrected and maintained via external bracing, soft-tissue procedures, tendon balancing, or lesser fusions. (medscape.com)

Fixation1
The comparative group could include any type of ankle arthrodesis, either open or arthroscopic, using any implant for fixation. (hindawi.com)
Arthroplasty1
Historically, knee and hip arthrodeses were also performed as pain-relieving procedures, but with the great successes achieved in hip and knee arthroplasty, arthrodesis of these large joints has fallen out of favour as a primary procedure, and now is only used as a procedure of last resort in some failed arthroplasties. (wikipedia.org)
Brachial1
The use of wrist, first carpometacarpal joint, and thumb interphalangeal joint arthrodeses in combination should be considered one of the reconstructive possibilities for patients with complete or nearly complete brachial plexus injuries. (elsevierpure.com)
Salvage procedure2
citation needed] Arthrodesis is used in horses as a salvage procedure to treat severe breakdown injuries, such as failure of the suspensory apparatus, subluxation, fracture, or collateral ligament rupture. (wikipedia.org)
Triple arthrodesis should be considered a salvage procedure and should be employed only after other conservative treatment modalities have been exhausted. (medscape.com)
Surgical3
Traditionally, ankle arthrodesis (AA) has been the surgical intervention of choice but the emergence of total ankle replacement (TAR) has challenged this concept. (hindawi.com)
When surgical intervention is indicated, ankle arthrodesis (AA) has traditionally been used. (hindawi.com)
A triple arthrodesis consists of the surgical fusion of the talocalcaneal (TC), talonavicular (TN), and calcaneocuboid (CC) joints in the foot. (medscape.com)

Is End-Stage Ankle Arthrosis Best Managed with Total Ankle Replacement or Arthrodesis? (hindawi.com)
However, the development of total ankle replacement (TAR) has challenged arthrodesis as the treatment of choice for ankle arthrosis [ 5 - 7 ]. (hindawi.com)
Bone1
citation needed] Arthrodesis can be done in several ways: A bone graft can be created between the two bones using a bone from elsewhere in the person's body (autograft) or using donor bone (allograft) from a bone bank. (wikipedia.org)
Pain3
The goal of arthrodesis for painful arthritis is to prevent motion by obtaining bony consolidation of worn joint surfaces and thereby remove the pain generated in the joint. (medscape.com)
The primary goals of a triple arthrodesis are to relieve pain from arthritic, deformed, or unstable joints. (medscape.com)
001) improvement in Disabilities of the Shoulder, Arm, and Hand scores (from 51 to 28) and pain scores (from 5.3 to 3.2) before and after arthrodeses. (elsevierpure.com)
Fusion2
Edwin W Ryerson first described triple arthrodesis in 1923 as a fusion of the TC, TN, and CC joints. (medscape.com)
In conditions where a lesser fusion or soft-tissue procedure will suffice, triple arthrodesis should not be used, because of the potential long-term complications associated with it. (medscape.com)
