    Joint denervation offers significant pain relief for elderly patients with wrist and finger joint pain. This outpatient procedure provides good results with few complications, improving quality of life.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Pain Management
    • Hand Surgery

    Context:

    • Painful joints in elderly patients with preserved mobility present a challenge.
    • Traditional surgical interventions often reduce mobility and carry high complication rates.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of joint denervation as a treatment for painful joints in the hand and wrist.
    • To assess outcomes in terms of pain reduction, mobility, and complications.

    Summary:

    • Complete wrist denervation showed a 75% mean pain reduction in 74% of patients over a 5-year follow-up.
    • Proximal interphalangeal joint denervation achieved 88% mean pain improvement in 85% of patients.
    • First carpo-metacarpal joint denervation yielded a 67% mean pain improvement in 81% of patients, with less predictable outcomes.

    Impact:

    • Joint denervation is a simple, precise, outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia.
    • It offers a viable, low-complication solution for managing joint pain in elderly patients.
    • Improved pain control can enhance functional status and quality of life for affected individuals.
