Clinical Assessments of Hand Function in 1st Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis: Do They Correlate With Radiographic Findings?
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative process impacting hand use, is typically assessed by clinical exam and radiograph. This assessment determines treatment, but may not reflect functional limitations. This observational, pilot study aims to explore the relationship between measures of functional hand use and radiographs in individuals with and without CMC OA.
