The 1st CMC (carpometacarpal) joint is a specialized saddle-shaped joint at the base of the thumb. The trapezium carpal bone of the wrist and the first metacarpal bone of the hand form the 1st CMC or thumb basal joint.
The CMC joints are located between the distal carpal row and the metacarpal bones (Fig. 13.54). Each metacarpal and its associated phalanges make up a ray of the hand. The CMC joints are enclosed by a single joint capsule.
Carpometacarpal osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition of the hand that causes pain, stiffness and weakness. It is the second most common site of degenerative disease in the hand after arthritis of the distal interphalangeal joints. 1.
saddle jointThe carpometacarpal (CMC) of the thumb is a saddle joint that permits a wide range of motion and is largely responsible for the characteristic dexterity of human prehension. This joint, located at the very base of the thumb, is subject to large physical stresses throughout life.
The CMC joint (also called the basal joint) at the base of the thumb is commonly affected by arthritis. It is the thumb joint located deep in the heel of the palm where the thumb metacarpal joins with a wrist bone called the trapezium.
The base of the thumb where it meets the hand is called the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This joint allows the thumb to move freely in many directions. It also provides strength so the hand can grasp and grip. A smooth tissue called cartilage lines and cushions the bones of the CMC joint.
Anatomical Parts The carpometacarpal joints (CMC) are five joints in the wrist that articulate the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal bases of the fivemetacarpal bones. The CMC of the thumb or the first CMC, also known as the trapeziometacarpal joint (TMC), differs significantly from the other four CMCs.
What is osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb (also known as first carpometacarpal joint arthritis)? Osteoarthritis of the thumb is a chronic condition causing pain, stiffness and occasional clicking and swelling in the joint at the base of thumb (also known as the carpometacarpal or CMC joint).

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code M18.0 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It causes pain, swelling, and reduced motion in your joints. It can occur in any joint, but usually it affects your hands, knees, hips or spine.
