Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the hand and wrist is common; varying disease manifestations and
a spectrum of symptoms make it imperative to approach treatment strategies in an individualized
fashion.
In this review, attention is focused upon site specific diagnoses and indications
for various surgical treatment strategies.
