A member asked:
Right thumb joint is fused. can it be made to bend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An ip Jtlw fusion: at the thumb tip or an MP joint fusion at the large knuckle typically cannot be taken down and made to move. However if you have had a fusion at the base of the thumb or what is called the CMC joint then at times that fusion and be removed and the thumb stabilized with some type of tendon transfer or inter-position and motion can be restored partially. There are many variables to consider first.
