[Medical malpractice in the treatment of carpometacarpal osteoarthritis of the thumb - An analysis of data provided by the Arbitration Board for Medical Liability Issues of North Germany].
CONCLUSIONS: As surgical procedures for the treatment of rhizarthrosis are among the most common hand surgeries, the data shows that the treatment of rhizarthrosis in Germany is safe and has a very low rate of medical errors. Furthermore, medical malpractice in these cases is less frequent in surgeons with a specialisation in hand surgery compared to surgeons without this specialisation.
