A total wrist carpal articulation prosthesis is an implantable device used to replace damaged or diseased carpal bones in the wrist, restoring joint function and mobility. Clinically, it is primarily indicated for severe fractures or advanced degenerative conditions like arthritis when conservative treatments fail, helping patients regain wrist stability and reduce pain.
These devices are typically made from durable metals like titanium or cobalt-chrome and may include fixation components such as screws. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as high-risk implants due to their invasive nature, requiring strict compliance with medical device standards and manufacturing controls.
