Hand in rheumatoid arthritis after surgery in a 69-year-old woman. The surgery was to fuse the joints in her hand to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by the immune system attacking the body's own tissues, causing progressive joint and cartilage destruction. Surgery is used to repair and remove destroyed tissues. | |
