This condition often leads to the degeneration of the cartilage in the thumb's basal joint, causing pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. During thumb base arthroplasty, the surgeon removes the damaged or degenerated cartilage and bone from the joint. The space created is typically filled with a spacer made of various materials, such as tendon, artificial implants, or even biological tissues. This procedure helps to reduce friction and pain in the joint while preserving thumb movement. Thumb base arthroplasty is generally considered an effective treatment for thumb osteoarthritis, with many patients experiencing significant pain relief and improved thumb function. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries risks, including infection, nerve damage, and implant failure. The success rate of thumb base arthroplasty varies depending on factors such as patient health, the skill of the surgeon, and post-operative care. https://www.instagram.com/health.decide/ https://www.tiktok.com/@healthdecide https://twitter.com/health_decide https://www.youtube.com/@healthdecide — #arthritis #3D #doctor #fitness #health #surgery — If you use our content without attribution or permission you will receive a strike that will not be removed.
