Radiograph assessment of the basal thumb joint.
Evaluation and treatment of basal thumb joint problems require a careful history, physical examination, and radiographs. The "true" AP and stress views provide useful information which supplements the standard plain radiographs. Additional maneuvers such as local injection and other imaging modalities are also sometimes employed, but their discussion is beyond the scope of this brief review.
