Doctors for Osteoarthritis of The Thumb Treatment in Kakinada

Osteoarthritis of the Thumb is a form of degenerative joint disease that affects the carpometacarpal joint located at the base of the thumb. It develops when the cartilage that cushions the joint surfaces gradually wears away, resulting in changes to the joint structure over time. The condition is more common with advancing age and repetitive hand use.

Osteoarthritis of The Thumb may cause symptoms such as weak grip strength, thumb base pain and reduced pinch strength. Depending on the condition and its severity, delayed medical care may result in persistent symptoms, progression of the disease, or related complications.
