BOSTON — In this video from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand Annual Meeting, Joshua Hustedt, MD, said patients with carpometacarpal arthritis recover faster from carpometacarpal denervation than carpometacarpal arthroplasty.
“As most people would expect, the arthroplasty group did well, but the denervation group also did well, and I think the findings of our study primarily show that denervation procedures are equivalent to arthroplasty procedures at least through the first year,” Hustedt told Healio.
