Pain at the base of the thumb is often called tendinitis while the X-ray still looks normal, and many of the patients presenting with it are younger and more active than the textbook picture. 🖐️
Dr. Jamie Alexander and Dr. Daniel Torres, orthopedic hand surgeons at Houston Methodist (@MethodistHosp), join Dr. Larry Balle on BackTable Bone & Sports to talk through thumb carpometacarpal arthritis in active and younger patients: the instability that can come before it, the inflammatory workup, guideline-based conservative care from splints to injections, and where dual mobility thumb CMC arthroplasty may fit for patients with isolated disease and good bone stock.

The BackTable team wrapped up their fantasy draft this weekend and now we're all looking forward to NFL kick-off. That said, who's your team?
Our Embolics Creator Weekend contributors got real about their teams: Ohio State pride, LSU, a dash of LeBron for the non-football fans, and some very loyal (very tortured) Jets & Giants fans.

No loss of consciousness? Still a concussion. Symptoms delayed? Still a concussion. And when it comes to recovery, return-to-learn comes before return-to-play.
