This study is a prospective, randomized, nonblinded trial to evaluate patient preference in splints after having a carpometacarpal arthroplasty.
Patients undergoing carpometacarpal arthroplasty will be randomized into the woodcast or thermoplast splint after their surgery to see which is preferred using compliance and surveys.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients over the age of 18 years old. * Intact Medical Decision Making * Eligible for Surgical Intervention * Willing to comply with all aspects of the treatment and evaluation schedule over 6 weeks Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant Women * Deemed Unsuitable by Principal Investigator
This is the experimental group so we could see the outcomes and preference for patients using surveys and compliance scores
Thermoplastic splints are standard of care treatment for patients after CMC arthroplasty. We will use the data from this group as the comparator to the experimental group.
