Researching a less painful and shorter term of healing and getting back to full use of the thumb- 43 with severe pain and basically no cartilage left- Stage 3- Doctor is suggesting fusing the bone as the best method due to my younger than average age for this ailment- Been looking for forums that I can compare the various types of surgery and the outcome of each, but been unsuccessful. Seems to be upward of 5 options. The BioPro procedure seems like the route I would prefer, but I'm not finding much info about it or any local doctors in NC- There also seems to be a Ball Implant that is not as long term for healing as well. Don't really know what to do, but have considered just having them cut my thumb off all together- But did rethink that one! hahaha Still any advice is welcomed/
