Abstract
Degenerative arthritis of trapeziometacarpal joint (TMJ) often necessitates surgical management and trapezium-sparing procedures are associated with satisfactory outcomes. Arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy is performed via specialized TMJ portals; approximately 4–6 mm of distal trapezium is excised and peripheral ligaments and capsular attachments are preserved. This chapter presents the arthroscopic anatomy and technical steps of TMJ arthroscopy and partial trapeziectomy.
