    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis commonly impacts the thumb, with 62% of patients experiencing involvement.
    • Two primary deformities occur: thumb adductus (5% of cases) and Z deformity (60% of cases).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the surgical indications and outcomes for rheumatoid arthritis-related thumb deformities.
    • To emphasize the importance of thumb function restoration in managing rheumatoid arthritis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical indications considering loco-regional and global disease context.
    • Analysis of outcomes in a series of 92 operated thumbs.

    Main Results:

    • Thumb involvement in rheumatoid arthritis often leads to significant functional impairment.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical restoration of thumb function is essential for overall hand function and patient well-being.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical treatment decisions for thumb deformities must account for deformity severity and polyarticular involvement.
    • Restoring thumb function is critical for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, despite functional adaptations.
