A member asked:
Can you tell me about surgery for basal joint arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: Surgery for this joint can take several forms depending on the specific problem in your hand. You should discuss this with a hand surgeon. If the joint is destroyed or severely damaged from osteoarthritis the surgery to replace -reconstruct the joint normally provides considerable relief from pain. One procedure is to use a piece of tendon rolled to reconstruct the joint.
