This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating rhizarthrosis, a type of arthritis that affects the base of your thumb. One group will receive a Maia artificial joint implant to replace the damaged bone, while the other group will have the traditional surgery where the damaged bone is removed and a tendon is repositioned to support the thumb. Researchers will track your pain and hand function over one year to see which approach works better.
Thumb arthritis can make everyday tasks like gripping, pinching, and writing painful and difficult. While the traditional surgery has been used for many years, artificial joint implants offer a newer option that might preserve more thumb movement and strength. This trial will help doctors understand which approach gives patients the best results.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either the artificial joint surgery or the traditional surgery at the participating hospital. After your procedure, you will return for follow-up appointments over the course of one year. During these visits, doctors will assess your pain using a simple rating scale, test your thumb's strength and movement, and ask you about your ability to perform daily activities.
