Eaton and Littler (1969) examine the functional anatomy of the thumb CMC joint using cineroentgenography to characterize dorsal subluxation patterns, then present outcomes of arthrodesis in 20 patients — 12 with degenerative arthrosis and 8 with paralytic or fibrotic thumb deformities — asking whether fusion can restore stability and function without unacceptable loss of motion.
