Improving surgical outcomes through identification of hand function after basal joint arthroplasty

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Mini tightrope suspensionplasty is a surgery performed to reduce pain and improve function in individuals with arthritis of the thumb joint. The goal of this work was to determine and develop a 3D visualization that demonstrated changes due to this surgery. Post-surgery, thumb forces increased by 66%. Range of motion also changed: the participant had increased palmar abduction and opposition, but reduced adduction.
