What is Wrist Disarticulation?

Wrist disarticulation is a type of amputation that involves the separation of the wrist joint from the rest of the arm. This can occur due to various reasons such as trauma, infection, or tumor resection. The resulting prosthetic device should not only restore function but also provide comfort and aesthetics.
