    How is a finger arthroplasty done?
    The surgeon makes an incision along the top of the finger to access the joint.

The ends of the bones are aligned and secured together using pins, a plate, or screws.

    Oral pain medications most frequently recommended to treat hand arthritis include acetaminophen and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Other treatment options include splinting/bracing, medications, injections, non-drug approaches and surgery. Splits or braces support and protect the affected joint, reduce deformity, provide joint stability, lessen strain, and promote proper joint alignment.

    How is a finger fusion treated?
    The incision is closed with sutures and a local anesthetic is usually administered for post-procedure pain relief. After the bandage is in place, the finger is placed in a splint to protect the joint. The splint is usually worn to protect the joint until fusion has occurred. Elevation of the hand is encouraged to decrease swelling and pain.

    Local heat can be applied when this symptom occurs to promote blood circulation. It can also be combined with infrared irradiation to reduce local inflammation and relieve the stiffness of the fingers. Suppose the condition is serious, accompanied by obvious deformities of the fingers, or accompanied by finger dysfunction. In that case, surgery can be performed if necessary to restore the function and strength of the local joints.
