Phoenix Hand Surgery offers specialized care for conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities, including effective treatment for thumb arthritis. Thumb arthritis is a common condition that can cause pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the thumb. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, our experienced orthopedic surgeons can provide the relief and treatment you need to improve your quality of life.

What is Thumb Arthritis?

Thumb arthritis, also known as basal joint arthritis, occurs when the cartilage wears away from the ends of the bones that form the thumb joint. This can result in pain, swelling, and difficulty performing everyday tasks such as gripping and pinching. 

Our Thumb Arthritis Treatment Services

At Phoenix Hand Surgery, we offer a variety of treatments tailored to the severity of your condition:

  1. Non-Surgical Treatments:

    • Splinting: Wearing a splint to support the thumb and reduce pain.
    • Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.
    • Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections to decrease swelling and relieve symptoms.
    • Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve strength and flexibility in the thumb and hand.
  2. Surgical Treatments:
      • Arthroscopic Joint Reconstruction: a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to treat damaged joints
      • Classic CMC Arthroplasty:a joint replacement surgery that treats damage to the thumb’s carpometacarpal joint
