Excerpt

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is exceedingly common [1]. Weakness and pain from this condition limit daily activities, although studies show only a weak correlation between patients’ symptoms and radiographic findings, making clinical evaluation all the more essential [4, 5]. …
