Wrist

A 70-year-old woman was referred to hand surgery after a late failure of ORIF. She subsequently failed a primary total wrist arthroplasty and underwent a revision arthroplasty with a custom implant when her pain and wrist function failed to resolve. The patient reported improved functionality of her left wrist at 2 weeks after revision arthroplasty. At 3 years after surgery, she performed daily activities without pain or difficulty.
