Arthritis of the Carpometacarpal Joint
2019Osteoarthritis of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint of the thumb is very common due to inherent wide range of motion of the joint. As high compressive and shear forces occur across the thumb CMC joint during pinch motion, ligament instability can lead to the subsequent development of arthritic changes.

Compression Arthrodesis of the Carpometacarpal Joint of the Thumb
Hand, 1982Six cases of compression arthrodesis of the thumb carpometacarpal joint by the tension band technique are presented. All the cases healed in eight weeks or less. Complications as stiffness of other joints or osteoporosis are avoided by this method.

Dorsal dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1990A case of isolated dorsal dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint treated conservatively is reported. The mechanism is thought to be a force hitting the head of the fifth metacarpal in a dorso-palmar direction, along the longitudinal axis of the metacarpal. Both clinical and radiological results 1 year after injury are satisfactory.

Carpometacarpal Joint Osteoarthritis
2017The carpometacarpal joint (CMC), with its complex demands of both stability and mobility, is prone to arthritis for a variety of reasons. The CMC joint is formed by the trapezium bone of the wrist and the first metacarpal bone of the thumb. Due to its relative instability, this joint is a common site of pain. CMC osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb occurs

ULNAR DISLOCATION OF FIFTH CARPOMETACARPAL JOINT
Hand Surgery, 2005Carpometacarpal dislocations may be dorsal, volar or divergent type but most are dorsal with involvement of 4th and 5th metacarpal. We are reporting first case of ulnar type of unilateral dislocation of 5th carpometacarpal joint.

Basal Thumb Joint (Carpometacarpal Joint)
2011Degenerative or inflammatory arthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal joint. This is a very common condition and presents with radial hand or wrist pain and loss of grip strength. Failure of conservative methods is an indication for injection therapy. Other small joints in the hand can be injected in a similar way.

Carpometacarpal Joint Injuries
2017Injuries to the carpometacarpal joints can be pure dislocations or fracture dislocations. The injuries can be specific to a single joint or in combination with other joints. Some dislocations are successfully treated nonoperatively but many benefit from some sort of stabilization, commonly percutaneous Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation.

MR Imaging of the Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North AmericaThe thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is the most critical of the 4 articulations comprising the basal joints of the thumb. Peculiar anatomy, inherent instability, and function predispose this joint to repetitive microtrauma and eventual osteoarthritis (OA), often resulting in debilitating disease.

Functional Anatomy of the Carpometacarpal Joint of the Thumb
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987The first carpometacarpal joint is formed by the proximal joint facet of the first metacarpal and the distal joint on the trapezium. The morphologic features of these facets, together with a lax but strong joint capsule, give the thumb great mobility and play a major role in the opposition of the thumb.
