[Arthrodesis of the wrist in arthritis].
The AO technique of wrist arthrodesis with an embedded iliac crest bone graft is a stable kind of fixation that allows early range of motion. Solid fusion with correction of the deformity and relief of pain can be achieved. A correct position in dorsal extension and ulnar abduction will improve hand function, but a decrease in grip strength must be expected.
