Trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition of the carpo-metacarpal thumb joint, characterized by pain at the base of the thumb and dysfunction. Evidence-based recommendations include activity modifications, rest, intrinsic and extrinsic muscle strengthening exercises, stretching exercises and mobilizations of the joint with glide and active movements.
