Wrist arthrodesis: gold standard for pain relief in advanced wrist arthritis; provides stability but sacrifices motion. Wrist arthroplasty: motion-preserving alternative for low-demand elderly RA patients. Indications differ: fusion for high-demand/younger, arthroplasty for low-demand/RA. Arthroplasty complications: loosening, implant failure, dislocation. Fusion complications: nonunion, hardware issues, loss of function in high-demand tasks.
