Filter by:Study purpose is to compare the outcome after total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) with proximal carpal row (Proximal Row Carpectomy = PRC) as bone graft versus iliac crest cancellous bone graft. Patients with radiologically and clinically confirmed advanced osteoarthritis are randomized (1:1 computer generated sequence with random block size) to two parallel groups and will undergo either total wrist arthrodesis with PRC or TWA with iliac crest bone grafting. Baseline data is collected preoperatively and is a follow-up visits at every 6 weeks after the surgery is arranged until the wrist is fused. The primary end-point is 6 months and the primary outcome is fusion rate.
