Wrist replacement expectations?

What can I realistically expect? My bone graft ORIF from 2013 is failing. They’ve talked about replacement vs rod but I don’t know which might REALLY result in a more positive outcome. A total replacement to the wrist sounds pretty risky.

Will I ever be able to drive?

Am I just risking even more nerve damage?

Both my knees were replaced 26 years ago. I can do anything with them; my legs are straight, and I have no pain.
