Our findings do not demonstrate a significant influence of FCR groove morphology on FCR tendon fraying in CMC arthroplasty patients. We also did not find a significant association between the FCR tendon state and degree of radiographic CMC OA. Further studies should investigate the in vivo FCR tendon to evaluate its tearing and inflammation in relation to basilar thumb pain.
