Abstract: Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) has been one of the most common locations of hand OA. CMC OA disproportionately occurs in females over males. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be needed. However, ...
Kinematic Investigation of Healthy, Arthritic, and Postsurgery Thumbs: Is the Metacarpophalangeal Joint the Gateway to Carpometacarpal Arthritis?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is one of the most likely joints to develop osteoarthritis (OA). If conservative treatments fail to alleviate symptoms, surgery may be pursued. Kinematic outcomes of CMC surgery ...
