Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • The traditional view of thumb base arthritis as isolated carpometacarpal arthrosis is outdated.
  • Current understanding recognizes pantrapezial arthrosis, involving multiple peritrapezial joints.
  • Pathogenesis involves thumb shaft stability and pinch-related stresses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the understanding of thumb base arthrosis.
  • To discuss the pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges.
  • To review current surgical treatment options.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on thumb base arthrosis.
  • Discussion of pathogenetic factors and biomechanics.
  • Analysis of radiographic evaluation limitations.
  • Detailed review of surgical techniques: arthrodesis and arthroplasty.

Main Results:

  • Pantrapezial arthrosis is the accepted concept, influenced by thumb mechanics.
  • Radiographic assessment has been challenging, with potential for dysplasia.
  • Surgical intervention is indicated for refractory cases.
  • Arthroplasty techniques are now preferred over traditional trapezectomy.

Conclusions:

  • Pantrapezial arthrosis is the current paradigm for thumb base arthritis.
  • Understanding biomechanics and considering dysplasia are crucial for diagnosis.
  • Surgical management, particularly arthroplasty, offers various options for treatment.
