Total wrist radius prosthesis

Definition
An implantable device designed to replace the distal end of the radius as part of a total wrist replacement, typically to treat severe bone fracture or degenerative disease (e.g., arthritis). It is made of metal [e.g., titanium (Ti), cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr), stainless steel] and consists of a stem and articulating surface, and may interface with a spacer. Fixation devices for implantation (e.g., screws) may be included with the prosthesis and implantation may be performed with or without bone cement.
