Surgical Treatment
- cervical spine
- hand
- wrist
- elbow and shoulder:
- frequently there is concomitant shoulder and elbow arthritis and the long term prognosis of both jointsneeds to be considered if any surgical procedure is indicated;
- note that standard shoulder and elbow arthroplasties will leave a narrow bridge of bone between the tips of the two medullary stems (which increases the risk of a stress riser and fracture);

- foot
