Abstract
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthritis is commonly encountered in Hand Surgery practice and can be quite disabling. Surgery is the best option for patients who have failed conservative management for thumb CMC arthritis. There are numerous surgical options to address thumb CMC arthritis with no clear advantage of one technique over the other.
In this paper, we present our patient selection criteria and technique of hemi-trapeziectomy with interpositional arthroplasty for patients with thumb CMC arthritis.
Hemi-trapeziectomy is ideal for patients with Eaton stage II/III thumb CMC arthritis in whom the STT joint is spared.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Techniques in Orthopaedics is to provide information on the latest orthopaedic procedure as they are devised and used by top orthopaedic surgeons. The approach is technique-oriented, covering operations, manipulations, and instruments being developed and applied in such as arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and trauma. Each issue is guest-edited by an expert in the field and devoted to a single topic.
