Conditions
Thumb Base Arthritis
The thumb base joint surfaces are covered by articular cartilage and the joint has a small amount of lubricating fluid. This allows the joint to move effortlessly with over 100 times less friction than ice moving on ice.
As we get older it is common to develop some wear and tear to your joint cartilage. As the cartilage continues to wear, the joint becomes more inflamed and movement becomes less.
