Rheumatoid arthritis, a condition that can attack joints throughout the body, commonly affects the joints and surrounding tendons of the wrist and fingers. It can cause the joints to become swollen, painful and possibly deformed. This can interfere with normal hand function. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

When rheumatoid arthritis damages the lining of the joints, your Resurgens physician may recommend a procedure such as a joint synovectomy to remove the inflamed tissue and relieve pain.
