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?
