Area of Science:

Hand surgery
Orthopedic surgery
Nerve surgery

Context:

The principle of joint denervation has evolved beyond the wrist.
Application now includes first carpometacarpal, interphalangeal, and metacarpophalangeal joints.

Purpose:

To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of extended joint denervation in hand surgery.
To compare denervation results with alternative surgical interventions.

Summary:

Joint denervation, initially described for the wrist, has been successfully extended to other critical hand joints.
Surgical outcomes at both the wrist and digital levels demonstrate comparability to established alternative procedures.
The possibility of subsequent traditional surgery remains an option for cases with suboptimal results.

Impact:

Provides a viable surgical alternative for various hand joint conditions.
Offers comparable efficacy to existing treatments, potentially broadening treatment options.
Maintains flexibility in patient management by allowing for further interventions if needed.
