What Really Happens in a Wrist Fusion

Imagine your wrist becoming a “no-flex zone.” That’s the goal of wrist fusion surgery — to stop painful motion caused by arthritis or injury. The surgeon removes the damaged cartilage, reshapes the bones so they fit perfectly, and may add bone graft to fill any gaps. Metal plates and screws lock everything in place while the bones slowly merge into one solid unit. You’ll still be able to twist your hand, but bending your wrist? That chapter’s closed. After surgery, you’ll move from a splint to a cast while your wrist heals strong. Have you heard of this surgery?
