title: [Is it necessary to remove the whole trapezium in thumb osteoarthritis].
abstract: Carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis of the thumb is a common condition seen in GP consultation. This disease can cause significant disability and affected patients often need a surgical intervention. Up to recently, surgical treatment included the resection of the whole trapezium in different possible modifications. In this article, we review mini-invasive procedures for treatment of thumb carpometacarpal joint arthritis.
