ClinConnect Summary

The KinematX Midcarpal Total Wrist Arthroplasty Registry is a clinical trial aimed at understanding how well patients recover after having total wrist replacement surgery using the KinematX implant. The study will follow patients for up to 10 years to see how their wrist movement (like bending and gripping) improves over time, and to gather their personal experiences and satisfaction with the surgery. This information will help doctors learn more about the effectiveness of this treatment for various wrist conditions, such as arthritis and wrist injuries.

To participate in this study, patients must be between the ages of 18 and 85 and have certain wrist problems that require or have already undergone total wrist replacement surgery. Participants will have their wrist function and health tracked at different points after surgery, including 3, 6, and 12 months, and then yearly for up to 10 years. This study is currently recruiting and welcomes anyone eligible to join, whether they have already had the surgery or are planning to have it soon.
