Thumb Arthroplasty: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Wrist Joint Replacement (Wrist Arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where a damaged wrist joint is removed and replaced with an artificial one. This helps reduce pain caused by arthritis or injury, making it easier to move the wrist.

It is done when medicines or exercises don’t help enough. The surgeon removes the damaged parts of the wrist and replaces them with a new joint to strengthen and improve the wrist's function.

After surgery, physical therapy helps the wrist regain strength and move more smoothly. This surgery helps people do everyday tasks without pain.
