Study on Basal Joint Arthritis Prospective

Description

The data in this prospective registry will be used 1) to define which surgical and nonoperative techniques are most effective at providing pain relief, restoring function, are cost effective, and patients are satisfied with their outcomes; and 2) to design focused clinical questions regarding the optimal treatment of basal joint arthritis of the thumb in future randomized controlled trials. There are no interventions or changes in patient care associated with this study.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients who have symptomatic basal joint arthritis.
  • * Patients who are capable of providing informed consent.
  • * Patients younger than 18 years old at the time of enrollment.
  • * Patients with neuromuscular disease affecting the operated hand, not caused by the CMC operation.
  • * Patients with known inflammatory arthritic conditions, such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis.
