Abstract

Bio absorbable materials have been used for a long time in human surgery. Application in various surgical fields as hand,foot, knee and spine surgery were developed. Among the numerous uses in hand surgery, wrist arthrodesis with those materialshas rarely been studied. Should we use bio absorbable screw for midcarpal arthrodesis? We reviewed the literatureabout wrist arthrodesis with absorbable devices and shared our experience with a case of a midcarpal arthrodesis failurewith magnesium and zinc alloy screws. From our review, we found that very few articles about that particular subject werepublished and amongst them very few had good results regarding wrist arthrodesis. Complications were construct failureand led to reintervention. Thus, this subject should be investigated biomechanically and clinically. According to our searchresults and our experience, bioabsorbable screws should be considered with great caution for wrist arthrodesis.
