Wrist arthrodesis or wrist fusion is a procedure in which the wrist joint is immobilized by fusion of the radius to the carpal bones. It is considered as a treatment modality for pain relief purposes in conditions such as advanced wrist arthritis following complex communited wrist fractures, cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and as a salvage technique after failed implant arthroplasty. Wrist arthrodesis is considered as a last resort when all other treatment options have failed to provide relief to patient's symptoms [1]. Total wrist arthrodesis using a rigid plate with use of bone graft from a local source demonstrates an excellent fusion rate.
