The Mayo Clinic Total Wrist Implant: A New Era of Restoring Function Through Replacement

5 Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Patients With Chronic Kidney Diseases A In 1972, the Mayo Clinic Department of Orthopedic Surgery opened a new frontier of diagnosis and treatment of wrist injury with the publication of a classic paper by Ronald L. Linscheid, MD, and James H. Dobyns, MD. In it, the investigators set forth a framework for understanding carpal instability that influenced many subsequent therapeutic wrist advances, leading ultimately to wrist joint replacement. Mayo’s novel conceptualization of wrist instability related to carpal bone malalignment, ligament laxity, and secondary arthritis helped pave the way for the emergence of advanced prosthetics.
