Abstract
Total trapeziectomy has been extensively studied and has been used to treat thumb basal joint arthritis for decades. It remains a simple and reliable technique that every hand surgeon must learn and master, as a primary or revision procedure. Several techniques have been described, but none of them seems better than the others. Without the need for an implant and because of its long-lasting benefits, total trapeziectomy is currently the only surgical technique for thumb basal joint arthritis that can lay claim to being a potential life-long procedure.
