Yes, in most cases surgery can be used to improve symptoms secondary to hand arthritis. There are many different options. I would suggest you see a hand surgeon to discuss your particular condition.

There have been tons of studies showing that surgery is no more beneficial than stretching and exercising the hand joints/muscles for management of rheumatoid or osteoarthritis
