From the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane

A retrospective study of fifteen Swanson silastic wrist replacements for rheumatoid arthritis (fourteen cases) and osteoarthritis (one case), with a mean follow up period of 28.3 months showed an increase in function in fourteen cases and no change in one case. An increase in range of movement was present in six cases, with no change in seven. Pain was improved in fourteen cases and unchanged in one case. Grip strength was improved or unchanged in twelve cases. There were two cases of prosthesis fracture.
