RESUMO
We report a short term review of 26 patients after Biaxial total wrist replacement. The mean follow up was 33.6 months (range, 24-62). All except one patient with psoriatic arthropathy had either seropositive or negative rheumatoid arthritis. A significant improvement in the range of motion was obtained; however, only 14 of 26 achieved a "functional" range. Eighteen obtained an excellent or good result when graded using the Hospital for Special Surgery score. Two radial and three carpal components showed radiolucent lines. Follow-up, however, was too short to determine whether this indicates progressive loosening.

A combined bony and soft tissue procedure is reported as a treatment of hallux valgus. Satisfactory subjective and objective results were obtained at an average follow-up of 49.6 months. There was a 21% incidence of avascular necrosis of the first metatarsal head, four out of the 38 patients (10.5%) having developed a varus deformity at follow-up.
