The optimal surgical treatment of arthritis of the hand and wrist varies from patient to patient and is based on many factors. These factors include the patient’s age, hand dominance, employment, level of pain, functional goals, and underlying disease.
Surgical cleaning of the joint, or salvage procedure, is usually performed in cases of early “wear and tear” arthritis where there are painful bone spurs or, in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, where there is a large amount of inflamed tissue. Removal of bone spurs is especially helpful when the arthritis involves the joints at the ends of the fingers.
Joint replacement surgery is usually done to cure relentless pain that can’t be controlled by non-surgical therapy. Many renowned hospitals in India provide joint replacement surgery to the patients. The highly sophisticated medical instruments in these hospitals accompanied by efficient surgeons ensure the best and most reliable joint replacement.
Total joint replacement, or arthroplasty, represents a significant advance in the treatment of painful and disabling joint pathologies. Total joint replacement can be performed on any joints of the body, including the hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers. Of these procedures, hip and knee total joint replacements, which are the focus of this article, are by far the most common.
