Introduction

The wrist is one of the most commonly involved joints in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Since the early 1970s, wrist arthroplasty has been introduced as an alternative to arthrodesis of the wrist, allowing maintenance of wrist motion, while at the same time relieving pain and increasing function.

Purpose

This study reports the short term clinical followup of total wrist arthroplasty in the rheumatoid, used to evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure based on objective and subjective results.

Materials and methods

Retrospective study of the 7 wrist arthroplasties in patients with rheumatoid arthritis implanted in our department since 1993:

  • 1.

    Objective results: range of motion, stability and radiological evaluation according to the Cobb and Beckenbaugh scale.

  • 2.

    Subjective results: pain and ability assessed by the EAV scale and the DASH questionnaire respectively, patient satisfaction and comparison between arthroplasty and arthrodesis.

Results

After the surgical procedure, both pain and ability, as assessed by means of the EAV pain scale and the DASH questionnaire, improved markedly. Overall ROM improved significantly. No signs of early radiographic failure were seen. Patient satisfaction with the procedure was high. All patients who had undergone fusion of the wrist on the opposite side would have preferred arthroplasty.

Conclusions

Although these good results help confirm the usefulness of wrist arthroplasty in RA, total wrist arthroplasty still yields less satisfactory clinical outcomes than hip and knee arthroplasty. Good patient selection a correct surgical technique, as well as the constant evolution in implant design, will help improve the results of wrist arthroplasty.

Introducción

La articulación de la muñeca es una de las articulaciones más frecuentemente afectadas en la artritis reumatoide (AR). Desde principios de los años setenta la artroplastia de muñeca se propone como alternativa a la artrodesis de muñeca para, además del alivio del dolor, incrementar la movilidad y mejorar así la función articular.

Objetivo

Evaluar los resultados objetivos conseguidos tras la cirugía, y los resultados subjetivos de la percepción del paciente tras la artroplastia de muñeca realizada a pacientes afectos de AR en nuestro centro.

Material y método

Estudio retrospectivo del resultado de las 7 artroplastias de muñeca en pacientes afectos de AR, realizadas en nuestro centro desde 1993:

  • 1.

    Criterios objetivos: movilidad, estabilidad y evaluación radiológica según el método descrito por Cobb y Beckenbaugh sobre radiografías en anteroposterior y proyección lateral de muñeca.

  • 2.

    Criterios subjetivos: el dolor y la habilidad medidos mediante escalas de EAV y DASH respectivamente, satisfacción del paciente y comparación de prestaciones con la artrodesis contralateral.

Resultados

Tras la cirugía el dolor y la habilidad (medidos mediante escalas de EAV y DASH) mejoraron de forma notable. La movilidad se vio incrementada de forma general mejorando muy significativamente. Radiográficamente no aparecen signos de fallo precoz. Casi todos los pacientes mostraron su satisfacción con el procedimiento quirúrgico. La preferencia de artroplastia a artrodesis es la norma.

Conclusiones

Aunque estos resultados ayudan a confirmar las bondades de la artroplastia de muñeca en pacientes afectos de AR, aún está por conseguir el éxito de las artroplastias de cadera o rodilla. Una buena selección de pacientes, una buena técnica quirúrgica y la constante evolución en la calidad de los implantes, sin duda ayudarán a mejorar los resultados de la artroplastia de muñeca.
