Arthroplasty: Treating wrist joint pain and limited mobility
A surgical procedure called arthroplasty is performed to replace the distal ulna with a prosthetic implant. This is done to treat conditions such as arthritis or injury that cause pain and limited mobility in the wrist joint. The surgeon removes the damaged or diseased portion of the ulna bone and replaces it with a prosthetic implant that mimics the natural shape and function of the bone. The procedure aims to restore normal joint function, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life for the patient. Recovery time and rehabilitation will vary depending on the individual case.
