Thumb Fusion

Today I saw my specialist and he told me that my options for my thumb injury is either fusion, or to just leave it as it is. The joint is my mcp joint on my left hand (where your thumb joins the palm). I dislocated it whiles at work.

I'm 31 and like going to the gym lifting weights, boxing, cycling, golf and fishing.

If I have the surgery would I be able to do the activities above?
Has anyone had this surgery and is able to do any of the activities above?

I know I need the surgery because of work (I'm a warehouseman) but I do value my activities a lot, as most are for keeping fit.

If anyone can help me I'll be very grateful

Thanks for the reply.

My original specialist suggested ligament constrution. I saw a new specialist which suggested the fusion or nothing at all. I thought about it last night and going to try and contact my original specialist to see if I can still have the reconstruction with himself.

I hope I can because then I wouldn't be worrying about the things I like doing in my spare time
