Arthrodesis status - what does this mean

Arthrodesis status is a condition where bones in a joint are fused together to reduce pain and improve stability. this is done by surgically cutting away the articular cartilage and any remaining ligaments, and then using screws, plates, and rods to hold the bones together while they heal. the joint is immobilized while the bones heal and fuse together.

What happens during the disease - arthrodesis status

Arthrodesis is a surgical procedure that involves fusing two bones together to create a single, immobile joint. the procedure is typically used to treat joint pain caused by arthritis, injury, or other conditions that cause joint instability. it is accomplished by removing the cartilage between the bones, and then using screws, plates, wires, or other hardware to hold the bones together until they heal and fuse together. the healing process can take several months, and the patient will likely need to use crutches or a cane during this time.
