Functional Outcomes for Basilar Joint Arthroplasty with Meniscus Allograft Compared with Trapeziectomy Alone.

Joint resurfacing with meniscal allograft represents a viable joint salvage option in severe cases of CMC arthritis. Early results suggest that, compared with trapeziectomy alone, the approach results in greater reduction in subjective pain and disability scores, similar improvement in strength measures and range of motion, and less subsidence.
