What are surgical treatments for wrist arthritis?
If severe symptoms interfere with your daily life, you may need surgery. Surgical options include:
- Proximal row carpectomy to remove a few carpal bones in the wrist, giving bones more room to move without friction.
- Denervation surgery to disconnect nerves in the wrist joint, relieving pain.
- Fusion surgery to join one or more wrist bones to prevent rubbing and friction.
- Joint replacement (wrist arthroplasty) to replace damaged bones with artificial implants.
