BASE OF THUMB ARTHRITIS:
Trapeziometacarpal arthritis is a relatively common condition. It gives pain on key pinch and pin pinch. Patients lose the first web space span (i.e cannot pull a large book from a shelf). Early treatment consists of anti-inflammatories, injection and splintage. The results of surgery are extremely good.
