Cost-Utility Analysis of Ligament Reconstruction Tendon Interposition Versus Suture Suspension Arthroplasty for Thumb Osteoarthritis
Abstract
Background: Thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (CMCJ OA) is a common degenerative condition that causes pain, stiffness, and disability, reducing quality of life. Surgery is a well-established treatment option when conservative management fails, but the optimal surgical approach remains debated.
