NCT ID NCT05753891

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two surgical treatments for thumb arthritis at the base of the thumb. The standard surgery removes a small bone and fills the space with a tendon graft. The newer method uses a special tape to hold the thumb bone in place. The study was stopped early and included 28 adults whose thumb pain did not improve with other treatments.
