Description
Background: Carpometacarpal (CMC-I) arthritis is a frequent and disabling condition. Standard surgical options include trapeziectomy and prosthetic arthroplasty. While quantitative outcomes have been widely studied, little is known about patient perspectives regarding function, aesthetics, and rehabilitation. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with ten patients who had undergone trapeziectomy on one side and prosthesis implantation on the contralateral side.
