Wrist fusion (arthrodesis) permanently joins the wrist bones to eliminate painful motion in a severely arthritic or damaged wrist. While it eliminates wrist bending, it provides excellent pain relief and grip strength. Partial fusions preserve some motion.
Dupuytren's surgery treats the progressive tightening of palm tissue that pulls fingers into a bent position. Options range from needle aponeurotomy to open fasciectomy depending on severity and patient preference.
