It is important for the public to know that there are excellent, minimally invasive options for treating painful hand arthritis without resorting to major wrist surgery. In this video, Dr. Alejandro Badia explains the benefits of a hemi-arthroplasty (partial joint replacement) for thumb arthritis. Unlike traditional procedures where the trapezium bone is removed, this innovative approach preserves the patient’s natural anatomy through a minimal scar, ensuring that future medical options remain open. Listen as our patient shares his incredible results—going from a complete inability to grip or rotate his thumb to regaining full, pain-free motion.
If weak grip strength and chronic joint pain are limiting your daily activities, modern surgical alternatives can restore your function while preserving your bone structure. Schedule an evaluation today to explore the best joint-preserving options available for you.
