Management of osteoarthrosis of the thumb joints

Aaron J Berger et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2015 Apr.

Abstract

We present current concepts and evidence to optimize diagnosis and management of osteoarthritis in the thumb joints. Numerous options and controversies exist for surgical treatment of carpometacarpal joint arthritis. Fewer options exist for metacarpophalangeal joint arthritis. Surgical treatment for interphalangeal arthritis is mainly arthrodesis.

Keywords: Thumb; arthritis; arthrodesis; arthroplasty; implant.
