Conditions
Interventions
Osteochondral Allograft
The arthritic bone that the thumb rests on (the trapezium) is removed and replaced with femoral trochlear osteochondral allograft that is designed to be similar in morphology to the human trapezium articular surface.
Ligament Reconstruction Tendon Interposition
During the LRTI, the arthritic bone that the thumb rests on (the trapezium) is removed. A small cut is made in the forearm to release a tendon, which is moved to the base of the thumb to fill in the area from which the trapezium bone was removed. A small suture anchor is then placed into a thumb bone which holds everything together.
