Broken deformed bones

[Smillward]

My sister has very deformed hands. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, however it looks more like scleroderma to me. Anyway, she fell and broke her left hand in many places. She also broke her right arm and that arm was fused at the wrist from whatever decease she has. The question is...When bones and joints are severely deformed, and they break, can they be repaired..at least to their previous deformed state?

I'm sorry your sister has been through so much.  Did she end up having surgery for the fractures or did they just cast them or how did they handle the breaks? Unfortunately, it sounds like your sister has had a long road of issues and I'm not sure how if things are 'fused' together it will go back to how it was.  Is it bothering her? How is her pain level?
