Wrist replacement surgeons
Having osteo in my left wrist, and waiting for a consultant appointment (NHS), the rheumatologist was not aware of wrist joint replacement as an alternative to having the bones fused. I have been looking on line to find a surgeon who is experienced in this type of surgery for a consultation but am not having great success. Has anyone had this operation and can give me a name?

Good morning @Ash and welcome to the forum. I see that you have osteoarthritis in your left wrist. You hope for replacement rather than fusing of the bones. You ask if the forum can provide with a name of a Consultant. I regret the rules of the forum do not allow members to recommend or comment on medical professionals. You have already carried out an internet search, but in case you have missed this, you should have a thorough read of this:
