Abstract
Total wrist arthroplasty surgery is often performed on patients suffering late stage pancarpal rheumatoid arthritis for the purpose of maintaining functionality. Current wrist arthroplasty on the market have a high rate of failure due to various complications such as component loosening, fracturing and dislocation. This dissertation aims to overcome these complications through the conceptual design of a total wrist arthroplasty. The engineering design process consisted of; identification of a need, definition of the problem/specifications, search for existing solutions and developing designs (Draper 2009). This research will be utilised to determine a working design for the wrist arthroplasty which will be further developed to a marketable product.
