Abstract: A surgical implant for total wrist replacement (TWR) includes a carpal portion and a radial portion to fully encompass both sides of the articulated joint defining wrist movement. The carpal portion is defined by a unitary structure that defines a fused form of the scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum, and bears against the radial portion for permitting articulated motion. The radial portion replaces a distal portion of the natural radius adjacent the wrist, and has the form of a “T” to combine a bearing surface with a stem adapted for implantation in the natural radius. The stem engages a receptacle or bore formed in a truncated end of the natural radius. Both the radial portion and the carpal portion patient-specific members are formed from image scans of the patient's own skeletal structures, and incorporate inverted, contralateral images of healthy structure based on an assessment of deformation in the replaced joint.
