Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I was just wondering if anyone here had undergone a wrist fusion at all and could offer some information and advice on the procedure, recovery and management please. It is looking very likely that fusion becoming the best option for my chronically unstable left wrist as I am spending more time in casts than out with it dislocating and breaking so easily. I know it will mean a loss of mobility in my worst and hand, but at the moment I'm pretty much stuck in a fusion position from the constant casting anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a trade off really. I've already had my left MCP thumb joint fused and I'm managing okay with that, but I know that the wrist is a much bigger and more involved prospect. I don't particularly want it fusing obviously but a rigid joint I can use has to be better than weak untrustworthy or splinted/casted one. I'm seeing my OS on Wednesday and intend talking over the situation with him then. So any personal info and opinion good or bad would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Love and hugs.....Jo xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
