Total wrist replacement - NICE Guidance

Total wrist replacement
Guidance issued
IP Guidance Number: IPG271
Register Interest
Summary:
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on total wrist replacement.
Description:
Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling and damage to the cartilage and bone around the joints, including the wrist. It is painful and can reduce the function of the joint. Total wrist replacement aims to create an artificial wrist joint consisting of metal implants attached to the end of the arm and to the hand, separated by a spacer to allow movement of the hand.
Arrangements:
Specialist advice hasbeen sought from:
Rheumatoid Arthritis Surgical Society (RASS)
British Society for Surgery of the Hand
British Orthopaedic Association
British Society for Rheumatology
Date notified to NICE: 14 March 2005
Provisional Consultation Date: Summer 2008
Guidance Publication Date: 27 August 2008

Obesity "does not limit benefits of knee replacement"

BMJ 31 July 2008
Obesity "does not limit benefits of knee replacement"
Roger Dobson
Clinically obese people can benefit almost as much as anyone else from knee replacement surgery, research has shown (Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 2008; doi 10.1136/ard.2008.093229).
The findings show that there is little justification for policies that deny this type of surgery to obese patients on the grounds of their body mass index (BMI). The researchers report that long term improvements in physical functioning in patients who had undergone knee replacement surgery extended to patients who were clinically obese, with a BMI greater than 30.
