Thumb osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the trapeziometacarpal joint. As the severity increases, deformity, pain, and loss of function also increase. Rehabilitation plays an important role in pain control and functional improvement, but when it is not effective, ultrasound-guided injection may be indicated.
Ultrasound-guided injection provides a fast, safe, and precise method to treat thumb osteoarthritis. Precision is essential in small joints that, due to degeneration, may be difficult to infiltrate without imaging guidance.
