Pain reduction as well as preservation and improvement in range of motion remain the main aims in the treatment of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA). We performed a retrospective outcome analysis of patients with symptomatic stage II–III thumb CMC joint arthritis treated with ...
Thumb carpalmetacarpal (CMC), arthritisArthritis at the joint at the base of the thumb, or the carpalmetacarpal (CMC) joint is very common. When osteoarthritis occurs at this joint, the cartilage begins to wear down creating painful bone on bone friction. Causes and risk factors Females are ...
The most common location of thumb arthritis is in the joint at the base of your thumb. This joint is called the basal joint or the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint of the thumb, which is why thumb arthritis is often referred to as basal joint arthritis or CMC arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the ...
The modified APL suspension interposition arthroplasty was an efficient and simplified option for the treatment of thumb CMC joint osteoarthritis, with results comparable or better than other published procedures. The APL suspension technique was easy to perform avoiding difficult bone tunneling and ...
Among other etiologic factors involved in first carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA), occupational factors have been postulated as influencing the occurrence of this condition. Very few epidemiologic studies, however, have evaluated this topic. Determining the occupational risk factors is important in...
Aim To evaluate grading of thumb carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) osteoarthritis (OA) using ultrasound, correlating findings with disability and treatment response. Materials and methods Patients with symptomatic thumb \{OA\} attending for ultrasound-guided \{CMCJ\} steroid injection and a group of asym...
The test is considered positive if the patient’s pain at the TMC joint is reproduced.21 OF THE MOST USEFUL ORTHOPAEDIC TESTS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE Other orthopedic tests to assess CMC1 osteoarthritis are:Grind Test Pressure Shear Test MC Extension Test MC Flexion Test Traction-Shift/Subluxation ...
Despite its importance, there is currently no published data on in-vivo CMC joint kinematics. Studying movement in a healthy joint is an initial step to characterizing changes that occur with joint pathology, particularly the common disorder of osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to ...
Osteoarthritis of the thumb basilar joint is a common pathology treated by hand surgeons, and this is the leading cause of degenerative pain in the hand. Multi-factorial etiologies, including occupational stresses, gender, hormone milieu, and altered biomechanics, may play roles in the development ...
Osteoarthritis of the Carpometacarpal Joint of the Thumb: Suture Suspensionplasty Technique Using the Internal Brace The thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is the second most common site of osteoarthritis in the hand. Thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis contributes ... ID Gammal,DV Tuckman 被引...
