What is the first line of treatment for patients with symptomatic basilar thumb arthritis?

The correct answer is B. Basilar thumb arthritis is often asymptomatic but if the patients develop discomfort with pinching maneuvers the first line of treatment is night splints and injections. If the conservative treatment fails then a trapeziectomy or a variety of other operative treatments could be a suitable option.
