Thanks for your reply. It helps me with my decision knowing I need both hands done over time. I am also researching CMC joint denervation and wondering if that might be a path I could take.

Here is the summary of an article about 5 year results -
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9870806/
At 5 years over 40% of patients had pain recur, and did the full CMC repair. I think if you can be happy with that outcome, and with possible loss of sensation in the thumb, it is an avenue to consider. I had the carpectomy with trapeze method done, one of mine is over 15 years old, the other 5 - no recurrence of pain or joint failure.
