Portland plastic surgeons Dr. Keith C. Neaman, Dr. Pete Tsai, and Dr. Dustin Christiansen have extensive training and experience in the treatment of basilar joint arthritis. To schedule your personal consultation, please call Neaman Hand Surgery at 844-338-5445. There are numerous non-surgical and surgical options to help provide pain relief and increased strength.

BASILAR JOINT ARTHRITIS
CAUSE & EFFECT

Arthritis is the result of cartilage wear in your joints. This cartilage provides a smooth gliding surface for your joints to move painlessly. As we age, the cartilage breaks down leading to bone rubbing on bone. This results in inflammation and joint destruction leading to pain with motion. As the arthritis worsens, strength is decreased, motion becomes limited and swelling may occur.

BASILAR JOINT ARTHRITIS
TREATMENT

Significant improvement can be obtained with non-surgical treatments. In a majority of patients, anti-inflammatories, nighttime splinting and intermittent steroid injections can decrease swelling and improve pain. In those patients who fall to respond to non-operative treatments, surgery may be recommended.

Cris, the PT, was so knowledgeable and kind and helpful. I highly recommend this office and appreciate all they did for me!
