Thumb Joint (CMC) Replacement at ORA Orthopedics in the Quad Cities

For individuals with severe thumb arthritis, thumb joint (CMC) replacement may be an appropriate treatment option. At ORA Orthopedics in the Quad Cities, the experienced specialists at our Hand & Wrist Center of Excellence help patients return to the activities they enjoy by providing the latest advances in surgical and nonsurgical treatment, as well as compassionate, personalized care. If you live in Moline, IL, Bettendorf, IA, Davenport, IA, or a nearby community and would like to consult with an orthopedic doctor about your thumb arthritis treatment options, turn to ORA Orthopedics.

Thumb joint replacement is usually only considered if nonsurgical arthritis treatment options have failed to ease pain and improve joint function. In this procedure, the arthritic, damaged surfaces of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint are removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis to allow for more comfortable movement.

As a patient at ORA Orthopedics in the Quad Cities, your thumb joint pain will be carefully evaluated by one of our doctors, who will first provide you with options to consider other than surgery. However, in the event that joint replacement is the appropriate option, rest assured our experienced surgeons are trained in the latest surgical techniques to minimize incisions, reduce post-operative downtime, and provide excellent results. In addition, our skilled physical therapists provide specialized hand physical rehabilitation.
