Thumb CMC Trapezial Excision and Suture Suspension Arthroplasty - Surgical Technique
We present thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) suture suspensionplasty surgical technique: a sling beneath the 1st metacarpal, anchored at the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) and abductor pollicus longus (APL) insertions. We present two variations: the volar and dorsal approach. The technique follows the principles of Delsignore & Accardi (Techniques of Hand & Upper Extremity 2009).
