DOI: 10.1016/j.hansur.2019.10.097
Abstract: Thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis affects many post-menopausal women. If medical treatment fails, the most common options are trapeziectomy and trapezio-metacarpal arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of trapezio-metacarpal prostheses in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2020.05.008
Abstract: Trapeziometacarpal joint instability is a well-recognised but under-diagnosed cause of basal thumb pain. A systematic approach with sound understanding of anatomy and clinico-pathological correlation is required to make a diagnosis. We discuss an overview of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97876-2
Abstract: It is likely that when using an artificially augmented hand with six fingers, the natural five plus a robotic one, corticospinal motor synergies controlling grasping actions might be different. However, no direct neurophysiological evidence for… read more here.
