Abstract
Thumb carpometacarpal arthritis is a common condition that may result in debilitating pain and loss of acceptable hand function. If patients continue to be symptomatic after a trial of nonoperative management, many surgical options exist in the treatment of carpometacarpal arthritis. For isolated trapeziometacarpal arthritis, arthrodesis is a viable option to create a pain free, strong, and stable thumb.
