Fusion vs Replacement

Hi All

I have RA (41) and I'm in severe pain with my right wrist. My left wrist is fused and I'm trying not to have to fused the right. I enjoy basketball, tennis and lifting however I can't do any due to my right wrist. Will fusion or wrist replacement worsen my condition? Any suggestions I welcome.
