Efficacy of Nonsurgical Interventions for Trapeziometacarpal (Thumb Base) Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review.

This comprehensive systematic review allowed collating evidence-based data on the efficacy of nonsurgical interventions for TMO. Steroid intraarticular injections would not be more effective than saline injections. Rehabilitative interventions (orthosis, exercises, nerve mobilization) would be efficacious. However, these findings must be treated with circumspection due to methodologic limitations in many studies.
