Conservative treatment of the base OA

Conservative treatment of thumb base osteoarthritis: a systematic review.

Article specifications

This systematic review was published in 2015 in Journal of J Hand Surg Am. (IF 2015:0.68) by Dutch specialists. A systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic bibliographic databases Medline (Pubmed) and Embase (both starting year to May 2014) using predetermined criteria for studies on nonoperative treatment of thumb base OA.

 

Result

There are only a few high-quality studies addressing the conservative treatment of trapeziometacarpal OA. Available evidence suggests only some effect of orthoses and intra-articular hyaluronate or steroid injections.
