Okay here goes The carpal bones due to abuse were worn to the point that a (spider) 4-corner partial fusion was done. Before therapy was finished 1-screw began backing out. Now 2-screws are backing out and the wrist bone is rubbing against the thumb joint. Now they want to replace the entire wrist!
I am really tired of surgeries. this is about my 16 or 17th from the age of 19.

Is there an alternative. A better choice. A miricle. A better replacement joint that might last more then 10 or 15 years.

Please I need help! Jimmy G 419-277-8867
