What is CMC Arthroplasty?
CMC arthroplasty, also known as carpometacarpal arthroplasty, is a procedure that is performed to treat a specific form of arthritis called thumb basal joint arthritis or osteoarthritis. This condition affects the basal joint (carpometacarpal joint) of the thumb, which is the joint located at the base of the thumb where it meets the wrist.
