What is Arthrodesis Surgery?
Arthrodesis, or joint fusion surgery, is a specialized procedure that permanently joins two bones, eliminating movement to reduce pain and enhance stability. It is commonly performed on weight-bearing joints like ankles, wrists, fingers, and the spine when conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections fail to provide relief. This surgery helps restore function by fusing the bones using metal implants or bone grafts, ensuring long-term joint support, improved mobility, and a better quality of life.
