Long-term follow-up of first metacarpal extension osteotomy for early CMC arthritis

Conclusions Based on subjective and objective follow-up data, first metacarpal extension osteotomy can provide good long-term results in terms of patient satisfaction, pain relief, and upper extremity function. It is a reasonable alternative to ligament reconstruction in patients with early-stage trapeziometacarpal arthritis.
