Abstract

The trapeziometacarpal joint is particularly prone to osteoarthritis due to the great amount of stress applied with everyday activities with the hands. In this essay, radiologic assessment and staging of "basal joint" osteoarthritis, treatments based on radiologic staging and intraoperative findings, and surgical complications are described.
