Acellular Dermal Allograft Arthroplasty for Wrist Arthritis

Treatment for SLAC wrist varies based on factors like age and joint involvement. Total wrist arthrodesis relieves pain but limits motion significantly. Soft tissue interpositional procedures, using materials like Achilles tendon, offer promise. Traditional proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is effective for certain cases but faces concerns in younger patients. Interposition arthroplasty emerges as a viable approach for end-stage arthritis. Acellular dermal allograft (ADA) offers reliable pain relief and preserves 80% of motion and grip strength. ADA’s versatility proved effective in various musculoskeletal procedures, including thumb arthritis. Successful ADA replacement and flexibility for future procedures make it a promising option for sustained relief without burning bridges for alternative techniques.
