Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Patients with Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) Arthrosis	X-Ray	Patients presenting to the Orthopaedic Hand Service not seeking care for TMC Arthrosis

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Factors Associated With Eaton Classification of Trapeziometacarpal Arthrosis: Age	Baseline at Day 1	Radiographs were scored using the Eaton score range.The Eaton score ranges from 1-4 where 1 is the least severe and 4 is the most severe for arthritis. Patients without TMC Arthritis would have a score of 0. Patients' age measured in years.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
QuickDASH (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand)	Day 1, baseline
Factors Associated With Thumb Pain: Hyperextension of Metacarpophalangeal Joint	Day 1, baseline	Thumb pain measured on a scale of 0-10 and dichotomized by having thumb pain (yes/no), hyperextension dichotomized (yes/no)
