Thumb carpal metacarpal joint (CMCJ) arthritis is common. Surgical
denervation is an option for symptomatic CMCJ arthritis. Articular branches of
denervation can be performed using a single volar incision. Synovectomy at the CMCJ
can also be performed at the same time. Short recovery period is noted.
Drs Buterbaugh, Putnam, Fitzpartick, and Stepan debate the merits of LRTI, Suture button suspension arthroplasty, Suture suspension arthroplasty with or without an implant, and arthrodesis for management of thumb CMC arthritis
