Best Practice Case Studies-Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Sagar Wagle, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford, discusses osteoarthritis in the wrist, specifically at the first carpometacarpal joint. Using radiographs, he outlines the anatomy, including the metacarpal, trapezium, and adjacent structures, and explains the Eaton-Littler grading system for osteoarthritis. Stage 1 shows normal joint space, while stage 2 exhibits mild narrowing and osteophytes. Stages 3 and 4 indicate more severe joint space narrowing and additional joint involvement, respectively. Treatments like trapeziectomy and suspensionplasty are also highlighted, with accompanying radiographic comparisons.
