Primary outcomes

  1. Factors Associated With Eaton Classification of Trapeziometacarpal Arthrosis: Age

    Time frame: Baseline at Day 1

    Radiographs were scored using the Eaton score range.The Eaton score ranges from 1-4 where 1 is the least severe and 4 is the most severe for arthritis. Patients without TMC Arthritis would have a score of 0. Patients' age measured in years.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Factors Associated With Thumb Pain: Hyperextension of Metacarpophalangeal Joint

    Time frame: Day 1, baseline

    Thumb pain measured on a scale of 0-10 and dichotomized by having thumb pain (yes/no), hyperextension dichotomized (yes/no)

  2. QuickDASH (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand)
