ABSTRACT
Painful arthritis of the small joints of the hand is a common condition affecting older adults, with distal interphalangeal joint and thumb carpometacarpal joint being the two most common locations. Younger adults may also develop painful arthritis after trauma and with inflammatory arthropathy. Traditional surgical approaches address the structure of the joints with either arthrodesis or arthroplasty with or without an implant. In recent decades, denervation has been reported as an alternative treatment for painful small joints that are mobile and stable. Publications on denervation often report faster surgery and recovery times than traditional surgeries that manipulate the small joint bony structures. This article reviews the history, anatomy, surgical techniques, and outcomes of denervation of the small joints of the hand.
