Twenty cases of total wrist fusion, performed for post-traumatic conditions, were reviewed objectively, subjectively and radiologically. All patients were satisfied with the position of the fused wrist and had good pain relief. All patients would have had the procedure sooner, having had an average of three operations on the wrist before the fusion. There was a high complication rate (45%), although only four patients required further procedures for those complications. Hand function, as assessed by the Jebsen and Purdue tests, was found to be poor; this may be due to a reduced range of finger movements. There was no correlation between position of fusion, carpal height or number of joints radiologically fused, and the pain score, grip strength or Buck-Gramcko score.
