Abstract
We developed an uncemented screw-shaped ball-and-socket wrist prosthesis and modified it during a decade of trails from 1996 to 2005. The final Motec® wrist prosthesis was launched in 2006. Since then we have used this prosthesis in 110 wrists (110 patients) from 2006 to 2018. This article reviews the design, functional outcomes, complications, clinical usefulness and possible future modifications of the Motec® wrist prosthesis.
