Opening a jar. Typing at work. Holding a coffee mug. When thumb arthritis sets in, even the smallest moments can become painful.

If you’re noticing aching at the base of your thumb, reduced grip strength, or pain with pinching and twisting, you may be dealing with thumb CMC arthritis, a common condition that often worsens over time.

At Hand + Wrist of Louisville, we help patients understand why this pain happens and what modern options exist to restore comfort and motion.

Did you know there’s a modern alternative to traditional thumb arthritis surgery?

The TOUCHĀ® Total Thumb Arthroplasty replaces only the damaged joint surfaces, helping restore stability, reduce pain, and support more natural thumb motion. Unlike older procedures, this approach is designed to preserve thumb length, strength, and control.

At Hand + Wrist of Louisville, Dr. Michael C. Nicoson is among a select group of U.S. surgeons trained to perform this advanced technique.
