Biomechanics - How We Think the CMC Joint Works: An Update - Fast and Furious: Thumb CMC Arthritis in 5-Minute Bullets (Symposium 4) - 2012 Annual Meeting
Faculty: Arnold-Peter C. Weiss, MD
Learning
Objective:
Upon completion of this session, the attendee will be able to identify current
evidence and key controversies of biomechanics, demographics, and treatment of
thumb CMC arthritis.
Duration: 8:01
Description
The etiology for thumb CMC osteoarthritis remains elusive and its treatment controversial. During this program, 6 hand surgeons will present 5-minute briefs that explore discovery and innovation of CMC function and anatomy, hormonal influence on arthritis, and surgical perspectives. Each speaker will respond to one question posed by the subsequent speaker that summarizes the bullet topic. A round robin wish list for an idealized surgical procedure will close the symposium.
