Understanding Thumb Arthritis
Thumb arthritis primarily affects the basal joint, located at the base of your thumb where it connects to your wrist.
The most common type is osteoarthritis — the "wear and tear" arthritis where the cartilage cushioning the joint breaks down. Other types, like rheumatoid arthritis, can also affect the thumb.
