CMC Joint Arthroplasty
Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthroplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving pain and restoring function in the CMC joint of the thumb. This joint is critical for thumb opposition, grip strength, and overall hand function. CMC joint arthroplasty is primarily indicated for patients suffering from significant degenerative changes, such as osteoarthritis, which can lead to pain, decreased range of motion, and impaired hand function
