Abstract

A simple method of local subcutaneous anaesthesia for the surgical treatment of the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC-1) osteoarthritis is described. The first carpometacarpal joint arthroplasty is performed under local anaesthesia. The choice of the procedure depends upon each individual case. The method has been used for five years in 181 consecutive patients undergoing CMC-1 arthroplasty with great satisfaction. The procedure is described. Its advantages are: total low dose anaesthetic agents, simplicity, and safety. Its value in high risk patients is emphasized.
