WITHDRAWN: Surgery for thumb (trapeziometacarpal joint) osteoarthritis.

CONCLUSIONS: We did not identify any studies that compared surgery to sham surgery or to non-operative treatments. We were unable to demonstrate that any technique confers a benefit over another technique in terms of pain and physical function. Furthermore, the included studies were not of high enough quality to provide conclusive evidence that the compared techniques provided equivalent outcomes.
