抄録

Three patients (5 wrists) with severe rheumatoid arthritis have had arthoplasty of the wrist with Swanson's flexible hinge implant sine August of 1979.<br>The review of the results of 5 wrists with 2 years and 9 months follow-up showed all of them to be remarkably free from pain, with improvement of the average arc of motion by 43° (before operation: 35°, after operation: 78°) and improvement of grip strength by 5.8kg on the average (preoperative grip strength: 2.6, after operation: 8.4kg). All the patients noted an improvement in ability to carry out and perineal care.<br>We feel that wrist arthroplasty with silicone implant is preferable to wrist fusion for severe rheumatioid patients.
