Abstract：
Traditional management of wrist arthritis consists of proximal row carpectomy, partial carpal fusions, or, in the event of pancarpal arthritis, total wrist fusion. Although proximal row carpectomy and partial wrist fusions preserve some motion at the wrist while relieving pain symptoms, the quality of results obtained from these procedures is not predictable or optimal in many instances. Management of hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder joints has evolved from arthrodesis to arthroplasty. The wrist joint is following the same pattern of evolution with the advent of reliable designs.

腕关节关节炎的传统治疗包括近行腕关节切除术，部分腕骨融合,或者，如果是腕关节关节炎,完全的手腕融合。尽管近端行腕关节切除术和部分腕关节融合术在缓解疼痛症状的同时保留了腕部的一些运动，从这些程序获得的结果的质量在许多情况下是不可预测的或最佳的。髋关节的管理，膝盖,脚踝,肩关节已经从关节固定术发展到关节成形术。随着可靠设计的出现，腕关节也遵循了相同的演变模式。
