In the article, I review the history of total wrist arthroplasty designs; give an overview of and design rationale for the ReMotion (Small Bone Innovations, Morrisville, PA) total wrist arthroplasty; describe the indications, technique, and postoperative care for this implant; and present some early, very encouraging results.
