Frequently Asked Questions

Arthrodesis is a procedure that involves fusing two or more bones within a joint to eliminate its movement and promote bone fusion.

Arthrodesis is usually recommended when other treatments, such as medications and physical therapy, have failed to provide relief for severe joint pain or instability due to conditions like arthritis or joint deformities.

During arthrodesis, the cartilage within the joint is removed, and the surfaces of the bones are prepared. The bones are then fixed together using screws, plates, or rods until the bones fuse together.

Arthrodesis is commonly performed on joints such as the ankle, knee, hip, spine, wrist, and fingers.

Arthrodesis is not reversible because the fused bones form a single bone over time.

Risks may include infection, non-union (failure of bone fusion), nerve damage, blood vessel injury, and residual joint stiffness.

The recovery time varies depending on the joint and individual healing, but patients typically need several weeks to months to return to normal activities.

Yes, after an ankle arthrodesis, patients can walk, but the ankle joint will be stiff, and mobility may be reduced compared to before the surgery.

Yes, some arthrodesis procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which may result in smaller incisions and potentially faster recovery.

Factors such as patient age, overall health, smoking status, and compliance with post-surgery guidelines can influence the success of the procedure.

Arthrodesis can significantly reduce pain in the affected joint, but complete elimination of pain is not always guaranteed.

Yes, a fused joint may lead to increased stress on adjacent joints, potentially increasing the risk of developing arthritis in those areas.

Yes, physical therapy is essential to improve strength, flexibility, and functional mobility after arthrodesis surgery.

Generally, arthrodesis should not be performed on an infected joint. The infection needs to be treated first before considering arthrodesis.

Alternatives may include joint replacement surgery, joint distraction, or biological treatments, depending on the specific condition.

In some cases, arthrodesis can be combined with joint replacement, but this decision depends on individual factors and the surgeon's recommendation.

Bone fusion typically takes several months to complete, and the process may continue for up to a year after surgery.

Arthrodesis in children is rare and is typically avoided due to potential interference with their growing bones.

While low-impact activities may be possible, high-impact sports are generally discouraged due to the stress they may put on the fused joint.

The long-term outcome of arthrodesis is generally positive, with significant pain relief and improved joint stability reported in many cases. However, individual results may vary.
