Osteoarthritis in the Wrist: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage of a joint slowly disappears. In the wrist this can lead to pain and restriction of movement because the bare bone ends rub against each other. This has a major impact on daily functioning.

Causes of Osteoarthritis in the Wrist

Osteoarthritis can have several causes:

Old age (wear and tear)
Familial predisposition
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis after a fracture
Chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Rare diseases such as Kienböck's disease

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis in the Wrist

Osteoarthritis of the wrist causes swelling, pain, limitation of movement and weakness. In rheumatoid arthritis this can also spread to the fingers of the hand.

Diagnostics

X-rays help to distinguish the different causes of osteoarthritis. Blood tests can help to diagnose or rule out rheumatoid arthritis.

Treatments

Non-operative treatment

In the early stages of osteoarthritis, treatment is aimed at reducing pain and swelling. Treatment options include:

Limiting activities that make pain worse
Use of a splint or brace for immobilization
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications
Special exercise programs under the supervision of a physiotherapist

Surgical treatment

If non-operative treatment no longer helps, surgery may be considered. Examples of operations are:

Removal of worn bones (proximal row carpectomy)
Fixing the wrist (arthrodesis)
Placing an artificial joint (wrist prosthesis)

Rates and Reimbursement

The reimbursement for physiotherapy varies per health insurance. We have contracts with almost all health insurers. Consult your care package and our Rates and Reimbursement page for detailed information.

Finally

The goal of physiotherapy for osteoarthritis in the wrist is not only to relieve symptoms but also to improve quality of life by promoting a more active lifestyle. Consult a specialized physiotherapist for a tailor-made treatment plan and follow the advice and exercises for a healthy lifestyle.

Trusted by many

A month ago I came to Fysio Iburg with a groin injury. I have been dealing with this for a year, tried various treatments but unfortunately without results. However, after 3 treatments with Arnold my complaints disappeared. I am therefore very grateful to the practice for their expert treatments. This allows me to exercise again like before!

Milan Frank

Super good and knowledgeable help from Kate. Had a shoulder injury. I received good exercises and was free of injury/pain after a few weeks. Continue to do the exercises to keep the shoulder strong. I would recommend Physio Iburg Rotterdam.

Frank van Hemert

Had great treatment from Farid. Came in with severe back and shoulder pain, a combination of dry needling and old-fashioned cracking, the next day it went much better. Super!

Eelco Schuller

Very well and professionally helped with long-standing hip complaints. Clear explanation and friendly, pleasant practitioner. Short waiting times.

Antoine van Nassau

Due to working from home a lot, poor posture and stress, I had a lot of problems with my shoulder and neck. Together with Fysio Iburg I made a plan in which treatment and exercises have resulted in enormous improvements within a short period of time. I am very satisfied!

Loes Groenendijk

Since I have been treated at this practice, I have recovered from my injuries faster than with previous physiotherapists. Highly specialized people who provide many different types of treatments, a suitable treatment for every injury. Highly recommended!
