Repetitive compression, progressive joint instability, and shear forces in palmar contact areas lead to articular cartilage loss and thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritic staging helps guide appropriate treatment selection, including nonoperative methods or surgical interventions like trapeziectomy, ligament reconstruction tendon interposition, suspensionplasty, and arthrodesis.
