Sound Hand and Orthopedics offers basal joint osteoarthritis treatment at our Seattle and Bellevue locations. If you are looking for treatment options, schedule an appointment with our team today.
Our Approach to Treatment
Basal joint osteoarthritis (BJOA), also known as thumb arthritis, is a type of osteoarthritis that affects the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint at the base of the thumb. Over time, wear and tear of the cartilage in this joint can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced hand function.
At Sound Hand and Orthopedics we seek to understand the specific impact your condition has on your life and use this as the guiding principle in determining your most effective treatment. The first step in this process is listening. The second is patient education so that you understand your problem as well as your options. Both nonoperative and operative strategies may be available. Together, we can determine what will work best for you.
Early treatment can prevent further joint damage. If you are suffering from basal joint osteoarthritis contracture, schedule an appointment today.
“Dr. Goel is fabulous. He listens with compassion and explains things clearly. He is also very patient with those of us who are weary of surgery. I highly recommend!!”
