Excerpt

The basilar joint — that very base of power, precision, and human superiority — is prone to osteoarthritis, and is the most common site of reconstructive hand surgery. Surgeons currently favor some form of trapeziectomy over hemitrapeziectomy or implant arthroplasty for a variety of reasons. The surgeon often chooses the method of trapeziectomy that the “master” taught or works well in his or her hands. Indeed, the current evidence suggests that trapeziectomy (with or without reconstruction) works if pain relief is the primary endpoint for those with advanced thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis. …
