Arthrodesis: Joint Fusion for Lasting Stability and Pain Relief

Arthrodesis, or joint fusion surgery, is a highly effective procedure that permanently joins bones together to eliminate painful motion in severely damaged or arthritic joints of the foot and ankle. When joint preservation is no longer possible due to advanced arthritis, traumatic injury, or deformity, our experienced surgeons use specialized techniques to fuse the affected bones, creating a solid, stable union that eliminates the source of pain. While the fused joint will no longer move, surrounding joints often compensate to maintain functional mobility, and patients typically experience dramatic pain reduction and improved overall function. The procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and positioning the bones in optimal alignment before securing them with screws, plates, or other fixation devices to promote proper healing. Our team carefully evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate fusion technique and develops individualized recovery plans that support successful bone healing while maintaining as much foot and ankle function as possible for your lifestyle needs.
