The survival rate was 92% for fourth-generation implants at 4 years. Complication rates ranged from 0% to 100% for third-generation implants and from 6% to 47% for fourth-generation implants. Results of total wrist arthroplasty vary greatly; longer-term studies are needed to determine its cost-effectiveness.https://doi.org/10.1177/230949901402200326
