Abstract: | Wrist arthrodesis is a reliable procedure for the treatment of a variety of disorders of the wrist. It provides predictable pain relief, enhanced hand function, and a high degree of patient satisfaction. The AO/ASIF wrist fusion plate allows rigid internal fixation and optimizes wrist position for maximum hand function. In comparison to other wrist arthrodesis techniques, the wrist fusion plate produces a high rate of fusion utilizing local bone graft from the distal radius. |
