    The inflammation of the wrist occurs very early in Rheumatoid arthritis. In cases of wrist deviation the biomechanics of the hole hand are affected. Carpal collapse will severely influence the range of motion (ROM) of the fingers. Operative techniques of how to maintain hand function are discussed. There are different procedures available - partial arthrodesis, arthrodesis and arthroplasty.
