Stabilizing Painful Joints in the Wrist and Hand for Lasting Relief
When joint pain becomes severe or motion leads to constant discomfort, fusion surgery, known as arthrodesis, may offer a lasting solution. This procedure involves surgically joining bones to eliminate painful movement while restoring strength and alignment.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our hand and wrist surgeons perform fusion procedures using advanced techniques to relieve pain, stabilize joints, and improve hand function. Arthrodesis is often recommended when arthritis or injury causes joint damage that cannot be repaired.
Why Joint Fusion May Be Recommended
Arthrodesis may be the right choice when:
- Non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief
- The joint has become unstable or deformed
- Pain is constant with movement or even at rest
- You need to regain stability to support your hand’s function
Our team will guide you through imaging, diagnosis, and a personalized recommendation based on your goals and lifestyle.
