At Catalunya General University Hospital, Thumb Arthroplasty is performed using advanced reconstructive and joint-replacement techniques, with personalised treatment plans tailored to the patient's condition. Established in 1984, this ISO hospital in Barcelona, Spain has 300 beds and provides comprehensive orthopedic and hand surgery services.

Thumb Arthroplasty may be considered for patients with advanced thumb-base arthritis causing pain, weakness, stiffness, or difficulty with gripping and pinching. Depending on the condition and joint involved, the procedure may involve replacement or reconstruction of the affected joint using an implant or other surgical technique. Doctors generally perform clinical examination and X-rays or other imaging before surgery to assess joint damage. Postoperative splinting and hand therapy support healing and functional recovery.
