Midcarpal joint

Radiocarpal joint

Here is an ultrasound guided thumb carpometacarpal joint injection. A cortisone injection for the thumb carpometacarpal joint is a great option if you have tried all non-invasive treatment options with no relief, or if you are in severe pain. The lasting effects of this cortisone injection will vary from patient to patient and may be weeks, months, or even years. If you are experiencing pain while opening jars, gripping and/or lifting low weighted objects, please give our office a call at 805-37
