Hi everyone… I’ve had my right hand pointer finger fused with a screw. ( may 2022) Pain is gone and I’m happy that I did it. Haven’t had any issues with it being fused. If anyone has questions feel free to ask

hello. I have osteoarthritis in my middle finger. It feels okay ,as long as, I have a brace. My surgeon wants to fuse the middle joint on my right hand. I am an art teacher, and trying to decide what to do. I am taking Melexican in hopes it will help.

What does your finger look like after healing? Did the surgery make it look normal? And what kind of mobility do you have?

Mine is my middle finger. I’m going to have the joint fused at the top but I want to know do they removed all enlarged area around the knuckle when they fuse it.
