I couldn’t be more excited for patients that suffer from Basilar joint arthritis. Smooth surgery with my partner Dr. Brian Sager. (Posted w/ permission)@UTHealthSAOrtho@Medartis_Global@DrStevenGibbons
@northwoods1980 At the initial visit, it’s always beneficial to see the parameters of stability under fluoro. But if reduced on CT and x-rays. I would plan for non-op management with close observation. Could even start a range of motion Hotchkiss protocol at 7 to 10 days.
@JHandSurg This is not the question. What are the clinical outcomes? Soft tissue stripping, ROM, rate of union and complications are. More screws and more plates will always increase instability
We were recently awarded the Sumner L. Koch award by the ASSH/Chicago SSH for our work “Delayed Timing to Surgery for Open Metacarpal and Phalangeal Fractures Does Not Increase Infection Risk”. Thank you to all involved in the selection @Dr_RyanRose
