title: [Initial experience with the Meuli cementless total endoprosthesis of the wrist joint].
abstract: The indications and the technique of implantation will be shown, and the results concerning function, pain reduction, and manual strength three years after surgery presented. Complications arose in cases with poor fixation of the cup prosthesis due to poor bone quality of the carpus. Operative salvage procedures are still possible.
