A wrist ulnar-head prosthesis is an implant used to replace the damaged or removed distal end of the ulna bone in the forearm, restoring joint function after conditions like arthritis or trauma. These devices help alleviate pain, improve stability, and restore mobility in the wrist and forearm, particularly when other treatments have failed.
These implants are typically regulated as surgical devices, often requiring clinical validation and adherence to biocompatibility standards due to their permanent placement in the body. They are usually supplied sterile and may include modular components or fixation hardware, with some systems designed for cemented or cementless implantation.
