Case Presentation with its first clinical consequences resulti- of total wrist arthroplasty for patients who are willing to accept ng from the withdrawal of both MaestroTM implants from somewhat greater risks for the benefit of improved function”. Recently, the marketplace implant survival with the new 3rd generation TWAs is reported to be 90-100% at 5 years in most series, but it declines from 5 to 8 years [3]. A 49-year-old male with low-demand claims in his activities Recent evidence suggests as well that the complication rate of all 3rd of daily living, initially presented with a long-standing history of generation TWAs is significantly lower (p=0.002) than older right post-traumatic pancarpal wrist joint osteoarthritis (PCWJOA), generation types (range 0.1-2.9% vs.0.2-8.1%) [4]. However, it must sustained primarily a total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) utilizing the be exclusively noted that all surgeons who are performing a TWA non-cemented resurfacing Re-MotionTM total wrist (Stryker Corpo- need a learning curve for realization of correct insertion of an implant ration, Kalamazoo, Michigan/USA) in 2012.

The further course was eventful, one of the new 3rd generation TWA that is currently in use worldwide [3, 4, 8-10]. The design of the implant has 3 essential differences as the patient reported about atraumatic dislocations of implant TM several times a day (starting in January 2018) that were always compared to the other 3rd generation types (Re-Motion , closed reducted by himself.

Both MaestroTM implants have proven to be successful for treatment of rheumatoid or post-traumatic PCWJOA, gouty arthritis of the wrist, avascular osteonecrosis such as Kienböck’s disease, idiopathic wrist joint OA, failed previously performed wrist proce- dures such as four-corner-fusion, primary or early secondary wrist replacement in cases of highly comminuted distal radius fractures in selected older patients; it can also be combined with a ulnar head prosthesis, a total elbow arthroplasty, and a total carpometacarpal joint replacement of the thumb; and it can be successful as well for a conversion to a TWA if patients primarily received a TWF are unsatisfied [7, 8, 11, 12, 14-25]. Nydick et al. [26] reported in 2013 that patients who received primarily a TWA with the MaestroTM Total Wrist for treatment of post-traumatic PCWJOA rated their functional outcome in Patient-rated wrist evaluation statistically significant better than patients who received primarily a TWF (31 vs. 73, p=0.01). Furthermore, both MaestroTM types achieve the most favorable functional outcome as compared to the other 3rd generation types, and it may be justified by preserving the resection- related carpal height due to its 3 various intercalated CoCr carpal heads in combination with its design of ellipsoid surface articulation especially in order to avoid radial impingement that is mainly observed with the use of the Re-MotionTM Total Wrist with its in contrast to both MaestroTM types straight transverse design of carpal plate (Figure 3A) [27, 28]. Noted that the survivorship of the MaestroTM implants with 95% at 8 years is slightly superior compared to the other 3rd generation TWAs [4, 29]. Moreover, TWA utilizing the MaestroTM WRS in a non-cemented manner can also be an option for treatment of post-traumatic PCWJOA in single cases for younger patients with high-demand claims in their activities of daily living [30]. Both MaestroTM types are approved for carpal hemiarthroplasty by the FDA (creating a metal-on- cartilage/bone articulation“), but first published results are disappointing mainly presenting as ulnar-carpal translocation potentially leading to distal radioulnar joint disease, and probably based on a mismatch between the lunate facet and the CoCr head of carpal plate [31]. Both MaestroTM types are not approved for radial hemiarthroplasty by the FDA (off-label“ use by creating a Figure 3 (Examples for PPOs resulting in a steady-state, „Wolff’s law“): cartilage/bone-on-PE articulation“) [32], but first published results (A) Primary combined replacements of the wrist and distal radioulnar joint as late salvage procedure for treatment of distal radius physeal are disappointing as well mainly presenting as PE wear or TM fracture subsequently leading to synovitis (i.e.“PE disease“) [33, 34]. arrest [68].

Since introducing the 3rd generation TWA [68]]. Both PPOs have been stabilized 5 years postoperatively (yellow types utilizing a metal-on-PE articulation, metal wear appears not to arrows), and whether radiologically nor clinically there is no evidence for loosening of both implants. Five years postoperatively, first PPO occurs be responsible for its failure. It is reported with the Universal 2 around the capitate peg of the carpal plate (yellow oval circle), but (Integra LifeSciences Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio/USA) in up to whether radiologically nor clinically both adjacent non-locking 16,7% of cases only, and common initially presented as carpal tunnel fixation screws are not loosened as well. Note the straight transverse design of syndrome, pisiform impingement, or pseudotumor [36-39]. With the carpal plate of the Re-MotionTM implant, and for insertion of its radial use of the MaestroTM Total Wrist, only 1 publication could be found component a bony resection into the radial metaphysis is not required (i.e. in which metallosis led to capsular destruction with subsequent resurfacing type). (B) Salvage procedure utilizing the MaestroTM WRS after attenuation of the distal radioulnar joint leading to dislocation and a failed four-corner-fusion [17]. PPOs under the offset of radial component destruction of the extensor mechanism, however, there was an and around the capitate peg of carpal plate firstly occured 2 years postoperatively, but it has been stabilized 4 years postoperatively (yellow impingement between the TWA and an additional ulnar head arrow and yellow oval circle). Analogue to Figure 3A, whether prosthesis with a metal head [40]; and the FDA reported in 2010 radiologically nor clinically there is no evidence for loosening of both TM another case of metallosis with the Maestro Total Wrist due to components. In contrast to Figure 1A-B, there is a correct insertion fretting of a loosened non-locking titanium screw and the carpal without abnormal angulation of both locking screws of carpal plate (light plate, but a revision was required due to an infection and not due to blue lines), and the ulnar-sided fixation crews into the hamate bone does implant issues [41]. However, the main cause of failure of all new 3rd not cross the 4th carpometacarpal joint. generation TWAs (i.e. metal-on-PE articulation) is unchanged loosening of its carpal plates based on mechanical imbalances that is

Periprosthetic TWA in selected cases [42]. Despite that the outcome is uncertain osteolysis (PPO) can be concern in assessment of loosing (or not), it and in 16% to 25% of cases additional surgery is required, revision has been observed after TWA with the new 3rd generation types as TWA is a valid option to TWF in the management of failed TWA well as after an ulnar head replacement. However, Boeckstyns and [43, 44]. Independently of that a TWF would probably be the safest Herzberg [37] reported in 2014 on 44 patients received a TWA with salvage option with our patient, a revision of the carpal plate utilizing the Re-MotionTM Total Wrist and evaluated at a mean follow-up of the MaestroTM WRS again by preserving the radial component would 3.7 years, significant periprosthetic radiolucency (more than 2 mm have been technically possible when using a custom-made inwidth) were found juxta-articularly around the prosthetic compone- intercalated CoCr head longer than size +4, and a longer custom- nts in 36.4% at the radial component and in 15.9% at the carpal made capitate peg for its placement into the 3rd metacarpal bone first component, where as clinical manifestation of loosening (defined as described in 2009 by Dellacqua [7]. However, all german surgeons progressive angulation or subsidence) was present in 14% of all cases were personally informed on February 26, 2018 by the company only. Moreover, PPOs seams to be stabilizing with in 3 to 8 years in Zimmer Biomet that both MaestroTM implants were definitively the absence of clinical manifestation of loosening (Figure 3A-B) withdrawn from the market place in Germany, and this decision [37-39]. That phenomenon is probably not new. Julius Wolff, a should also be extended worldewide in forseeable future.The company german orthopaedic surgeon (†1902), first described in 1862 that officially stated that the cause for the withdrawal is that as follows: cortical bones primarily became atrophic in lesser loaded regions „The MaestroTM implants are approved only for its cemented use by whereas it became hyperthrophic in higher loaded regions, and the FDA and there are no publications in the literature worldwide on resulted secondarily ina steady-state over time (“Wolff’s law”) [40]. favorable results with its cemented use, and so, it cannot be Hence, PPOs juxta-articularly around non-cemented prosthetic guaranteed a favorable surveillance of both implants by the company if components of TWAs (i.e. metaphyseal PPO’s) can also be probably inserted in a non-cemented manner (i.e. “off-label” use) …hence, the discussed as result of sufficient osseointegration of its titanium Conformité Européenne (CE) mark for Europe is no longer alloystems in the diaphyses distal to the metaphyseal PPOs (i.e. stress requested when it expires in 2018“ [12]. This reasoning must be shielding) [9, 10, 37-39]. extremely doubted because there is exclusively no evidence in the literature which supports a primarily cemented insertion of all 3rd Dislocation (i.e. instability) of a wrist implants is a concern, it has generation TWA types with its titanium alloy radial stems (Figure been observed in up to 8% with the older TWA generation types [3]. 1A-B, Figure 2A, Figure 3A-B), and the primarily cemented insertion Sterling Bunnel (†1957) noted: “A painless stable wrist is the key to of all 3rd generation TWAs (including both MaestroTM types!) is hand function”[41]. This problem seems to be solved with the use of recommended only in cases when poor bone stock is present, for the new 3rd generation types, and by increasing experience of the revision TWA, or for the use of custom-made wrist implants in surgeons with their surgical techniques. The rates of instability or patients with bony tumors [1-11, 14-30, 33, 34, 39, 41-57], and these dislocation for the Re-MotionTM Total Wrist and both MaestroTM features are absolutely comparable with those of all modern total hip implants is reported to be 0.7% and 0.6% only [3, 7, 14, 27, 29, 34]. arthroplasties [12]. Noted as well that primary cemented insertion of Atraumatic dislocation may occur either by iatrogenic injury of the a TWA does not decrease the risk of periprosthetic fracture both volar extrinsic radioscaphocapitate ligament which the most intra- and postoperatively, and it has been reported for the metaca- important stabilizer of the wrist and potentially leading to a transverse rpophalangeal joints that there is a higher risk of periprosthetic instability, or by iatrogenic too large carpal resection potentially fracture intraoperatively when insertion of a prosthesis was done in a leading to a longitudinal instability. Schmidt [11] reported 1 case of an cemented manner [66, 67]. Moreover, the disadvantage of both iatrogenic instability with the MaestroTM WRS (atraumatic MaestroTM types is that the PE insert is fixed to the radial body, dislocation to volar in the plaster splint 5 days postoperatively) which hence,when PE wear or fracture occurs then a revision of the entire could be successfully treated by open surgical revision accompanied radial component becomes necessary. When the long radial stem of with an exchange of the formerly inserted CoCr head size +2 to size both MaestroTM types is primarily inserted into the radial diaphysis +4 in order to restore longitudinal alignment without the necessity of with cementation, then (in case of failure) an extended bony revision of the entire carpal plate (Figure 2C). The causes fo the failed windowing along the entire radial component is needed for its revision TWA with our presented case were: (1) too large carpal removal that can be followed by another complications in the further resection that could not be compensated by the already inserted course. In conclusion, this decision by the company contradicts any longest size (+4) of the 3 available intercalated CoCr heads (standard recent scientific knowledge. Furthermore, it does no more longer +2, +4), and (2) failed angle positioning of the variable locking screw allow a revision for a failed MaestroTM TWA, and for such cases, the into the 2nd metacarpal bone (in contrast to Figure 3B) which motion-restricting TWF is the salvage option only. Therefore, all obviously exceeded the normal range of the mobility between the head colleagues who are planning a TWA with the MaestroTM implant in and shaft of the screw that led to its breakthrough (i.e mechanical forseeable future should be aware. Noted that a (re-)revision TWA imbalance) accompanied with migration of the head of this screw utilizing one of the other 3rd-generation types with its resurfacing (external thread) into the articular space due to its insufficient locking radial components and short radial stems for placement into the mechanism with the carpal plate (internal thread). Noted that metaphyses (Re-MotionTM, Universal 2 or Freedom) appears not to iatrogenic too large bony resection is also reported to be a main cause be possible with our presented case due to the previously required for dislocation of a thumb 1st carpometacarpal total joint deep bony resection into the distal radial metaphysis for placement of replacement, and not due to implant issues as well [48]. the radial body of the MaestroTM total wrist (Figure 1A-B, Figure 2A, Revision arthroplasty is the preferred first method of choice for Figure 3A-B). It is fact that patients often do not have any knowledge loosened or unstable primary arthroplasties of the knee, hip, elbow, about such a proceeding (i.e. „think they got inserted a bad implant“) and shoulder in order to restore stability and providing joint motion potentially leading to explantation miseries for the surgeons alone to before performing the other salvage procedures such as joint fusion or their patients regarding the administrative decison by the company Zimmer Biomet.
