This surgery removes the inflamed lining tissue, called synovium, from inside the joint at the base of a finger, rather than the wrist joint itself. Overgrown or inflamed synovium can cause pain, swelling, and joint damage over time, often related to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. The surgeon opens the joint, removes the diseased tissue, and closes the area to allow healing.
