RA is a common disorder that has significant destructive effects on the midfoot portion of the foot. When these degenerative joint changes occur, any motion at the involved joints causes severe pain and disability, and limits the patient in his or her attempt to perform daily activities. These changes have a significant social and economic impact, and cause unwanted lifestyle changes. Arthrodesis, when used judiciously, can offer pain relief and a restoration of normal activity for the patient with RA.
类风湿性关节炎（RA）是一种常见疾病，对足部中足部分具有显著的破坏作用。当这些退行性关节变化发生时，受累关节的任何活动都会导致剧痛和功能障碍，限制患者进行日常活动。这些变化具有重大的社会和经济影响，并导致不良的生活方式改变。当谨慎使用时，关节融合术可为类风湿性关节炎患者缓解疼痛并恢复正常活动。
