Resumen

Purpose The main purpose of this study was to elucidate the current practice patterns among the Spanish hand surgeons in the surgical treatment of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis (OA). Methods A 15-item survey to determine the practice patterns of the Spanish hand surgeons who treat CMC joint OA was developed, pilot tested, and distributed through a professional online survey service (SurveyMonkey, Palo Alto, CA) to assure confidentiality and anonymity. Results 94% of the Spanish hand surgeons make their surgical decision to perform surgery based on the patients reported pain level. 75% of the surgeons immobilize their patients between 1 and 3 weeks after surgery and only 36% of the interviewees assess pain intensity after surgery. Conclusions This survey provides valuable data regarding the current practice patterns in the surgical treatment of thumb CMC OA by the Spanish hand surgeons. Level of Evidence Level V.
