Wrist Fusion Surgery Introduction
Wrist Fusion, also known as wrist arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure that joins the wrist bones into a single, solid bone. This surgery eliminates movement in the wrist joint to reduce severe pain and improve stability. It is commonly done when other treatments fail to relieve symptoms caused by arthritis or major wrist injuries.
Surgical Approach and Technique of Wrist Fusion Surgery
During Wrist Fusion Surgery, the surgeon makes an incision on the back of the wrist to access the joint. The damaged cartilage is carefully removed from the wrist bones to allow proper bone fusion. Metal implants such as plates, screws, or wires are then used to hold the bones in the correct position while they heal. Bone grafts may be added to encourage new bone growth and strengthen the fusion. The wrist is typically fixed in a functional position to allow effective hand movement after recovery. Over time, the bones fuse completely, stabilizing the wrist and reducing chronic pain.

- Major wrist fractures or injuries that cannot be repaired by other methods.
