Method for Determining Kinematic Parameters of the In Vivo Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint
The mobility of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is critical for functional grasping and manipulation tasks. We present an optimization technique for determining from surface marker measurements a subject-specific kinematic model of the in vivo CMC joint that is suitable for measuring mobility. Our anatomy-based cost metric scores a candidate joint model by the plausibility of the correspo...
متن کاملBilateral Carpometacarpal Joint Dislocations of the Thumb
A traumatic carpometacarpal joint dislocation of the thumb accounts for less than 1% of all hand injuries. Optimal treatment strategies for this injury are still a subject of debate. In this article, we report a case of bilateral thumb carpometacarpal joint dislocations: a unique combination of injuries. We believe our case is the second report of bilateral carpometacarpal joint dislocation reg...
متن کاملSynovial Osteochondromatosis at the Carpometacarpal Joint of the Thumb
Synovial osteochondromatosis (SOC) is a benign tumor characterized by synovial connective tissue metaplasia. SOC commonly affects major joints including the knee followed by the hip, elbow, and wrist. SOC cases in the hand are not reported as often as SOC of major joints. Particularly SOC of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is rare. We report on a 57-year-old female with primary SOC of th...
متن کاملIn vivo pilot study evaluating the thumb carpometacarpal joint during circumduction.
BACKGROUND Analysis of arthrokinematics may have clinical use in the diagnosis of dynamic instability of the thumb and wrist. Recent technological advances allow noninvasive, high-resolution imaging of skeletal (thumb and carpal bones) structures during motion. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The primary purpose of this study is to define the arthrokinematics, estimated joint contact patterns, and distrib...
متن کاملTotal joint arthroplasty in the treatment of advanced stages of thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis.
PURPOSE Osteoarthritis of the thumb basal joint is a very common and disabling condition that frequently affects middle-aged women. Many different surgical techniques have been proposed for extensive degenerative arthritis of the first carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Joint replacement has been an effective treatment of this condition. The purpose of this article is to present the outcome of a tota...
