    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Rheumatology
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis frequently leads to significant and varied deformities of the hand.
    • These deformities can severely impact hand function and quality of life for patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the primary surgical interventions for hand deformities in rheumatoid arthritis.
    • To emphasize the integral role of hand surgery in a multidisciplinary approach to rheumatoid arthritis management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common surgical procedures for rheumatoid arthritis hand deformities.
    • Categorization of surgical techniques into five main groups: synovectomy, tenosynovectomy, tendon surgery, arthroplasty, and arthrodesis.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Surgical interventions for rheumatoid arthritis of the hand encompass a range of procedures.
    • These procedures are crucial for addressing the complex deformities caused by the disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Hand surgery is a vital component in the comprehensive management of rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Trained hand surgeons should be integrated into arthritis care teams from the outset, not as a last resort.
