Orthopedics
Regenerative Medicine
Hand Surgery

Background:

Basal thumb arthritis significantly impacts quality of life.
Current treatments (pain control, steroids, surgery) lack long-term efficacy data and cartilage repair evidence.
Novel regenerative approaches are emerging for this condition.

Conclusions:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and lipofilling (fat grafting) demonstrate promising results for basal thumb arthritis.
These regenerative therapies warrant further investigation for efficacy and cartilage repair potential.
More robust clinical trials are needed to establish long-term benefits.
