The indications for surgery were post-traumatic arthritis (56.1%), Kien- b\u00f6ck\u2019s disease (17.1%), rheumatic disease (14.6%) or other reasons (12.2%). In 75.6% of the procedures, proximal row carpectomy took place prior to or at the same time as the surgical fusion procedure. The median follow-up was 6 years. Postoperatively, pain decreased by 7.5 points on the Visual Analogue Scale and grip strength increased by 6.3 kg. The improve- ment in the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand was 43.5 points and 53.2 in the Patient- Rated Wrist Evaluation. All changes were statistically significant. There were postoperative complications in 14.6% of the arthrodesis procedures. Radiocarpal fusion was complete in 97.6% of cases. Finally, 62.5% of patients were able to return to work, with 92.5% being satisfied or very satisfied. These results allow us to conclude that, in the medium term, total wrist arthrodesis with contoured plate is a reliable and safe technique for the treatment of advanced radiocarpal arthritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.52628\/88.3.10158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]],"date-time":"2023-02-15T23:40:33Z","timestamp":1676504433000},"page":"636-641","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Results of the total wrist arthrodesis with contoured plate in a series of 41 wrists with median follow-up of 6 years"],"prefix":"10.52628","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Luis","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Nogu\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregorio","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Vill\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"27062","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hayden RJ, Jebson PJ.
