Wrist Fusion Surgery in Maharashtra

Will I be able to move my wrist at all after fusion?

With total fusion, the wrist joint itself no longer bends, though forearm rotation is preserved; partial fusion aims to keep some wrist motion where the unaffected joints remain healthy.

Will this relieve my pain?

Wrist fusion is highly effective at relieving arthritis pain since it eliminates the painful joint motion, though the trade-off is reduced wrist flexibility.

Are there alternatives to fusion?

Depending on the extent of damage, options like wrist joint replacement (arthroplasty) may preserve more motion, though fusion is generally more durable for heavy manual work — your hand surgeon can discuss which suits your lifestyle.

How long is the recovery?

Recovery is prolonged, often 3-6 months, since the bones need time to fully fuse together, typically with a cast or brace worn for the first several weeks.

Can I still do manual work after wrist fusion?

Many patients return to manual work and daily activities without the pain that limited them before, though tasks requiring fine wrist movement, like certain sports, may be more difficult afterward.
