knuckle replacement

Posted by janejane1947 @janejane1947, Dec 4, 2011

i recently had knuckles replaced (two) and am doing very well, had an excellent hand surgeon so that we a big part of its success...i am still in the pt phase and am wondering about others having or thinking of having this surgery...i would do it again and again in a split second, the pain pre surgery was becoming unbearable, no pain now...

Can they do baby finger joints from bad arthritis ? My family doctor says nothing can be done for me!

Are you still doing well after knuckle replacement ? My two middle fingers are getting deformed at upper joint. My hand MD says he could only fuse them. Please let me know how you made out.

Wow.. @janejane1947 @ano86341853 @ruths @tachala - I want to welcome you all to Connect. You have found a good spot with people who truly care. I have never heard of knuckle replacement, but it makes sense. I've had two knees replaced. Why not knuckes? Just curious about where you had this done? Mayo?
