Dr. Patrick Johnston, Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon with Steamboat Orthopaedic & Spine Institute, performed a rare total wrist replacement at Memorial Regional Health.
A total wrist replacement, or wrist arthroplasty, is not a common procedure. In fact, there have been only 55 replacements by 12 surgeons nationwide over two years. Dr. Johnston talks about the unique procedure, who is a good candidate, and why he appreciates the surgical team at Memorial Regional Health.

My brother had this done a couple of years ago... his wrist is still swollen 1.5 times normal and is still painful to grasp anything. If someone suggests you get this done, RUN!! Go see your nearest hand therapy specialist.
