Determining the ideal position of the longitudinal centre of rotation for a Motec <sup>®</sup> total wrist arthroplasty
Moving the COR of a Motec<sup>®</sup> TWA affects movement and efficiency. Flexion and extension are more affected than other movements. Performance of the wrist deteriorates with more proximal and distal positions; however excellent results can be obtained over a relatively wide area.The standard surgical technique reliable places the COR of the Motec<sup>®</sup> TWA in a position where optimal movement and efficiency can be expected.
