Scaphoidectomy with 4 corner fusion (cause Priesers Disease)

Almost 7 years ago I had my scophoid removed and a 4 corner fusion using a bone graft from my iliac crest. I was told it would last 10 yes but since I was so young it might not last that long ( I was 31 yes old at the time of surgery). I think it is starting to fail, I'm having pain again in my wrist. It hurts to do basic things again. At the time of this surgery I was told I would have to have a total wrist replacement next. Can you get more than 1 wrist replacement? I'm a bit nervous because I am reading they only.ladt 10-15 yra, well I'm 38 now and that's not very promising! I can't imagine what could be done after that. I have had many bone/cartilage issues since 2011. I had a partial knee replacement (lt knee) in March of 2017 @ 36. I have a fracture in my seamoid bone (rt foot) and bieve I have trigger finger in my lf thumb (going to doc on Thurs. I also have a heart murmur that's was found in 2016.
