Arthrodesis is a \u2018salvage\u2019 procedure\u2019 generally only performed when there are no other options to save the joint and function of the leg. The wrist (carpus), shoulder and ankle (hock) are the most common joints that undergo arthrodesis. The main joint that cannot be fused is the hip joint, this is generally not a problem as the hip joint can be replaced with an artificial one.
