Video Summary

The panelists in this video discuss total wrist arthroplasty, a surgical procedure used to treat wrist arthritis. They discuss various aspects of the procedure including indications, outcomes, complications, and revision surgery. While total wrist arthroplasty is generally a successful option for patients with osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis, there are potential complications such as loosening and osteolysis that can occur in some cases. The panelists also discuss the use of different types of implants and the importance of proper alignment and fixation. Fusion surgery is also considered as an alternative treatment option, particularly in cases where implant failure occurs. Overall, the panelists emphasize the importance of careful patient selection and the need for ongoing research to improve the long-term outcomes of total wrist arthroplasty.
