It depends on what kind of surgery . If you need a replacement thumb that will affect the price .
saddle joint- This joint has two bones that fit together in a special way. It can move in all directions, except rotational. It's what makes us different from monkeys as they can't move their thumbs!
It is known as the thumb basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal joint. It is a special saddle-shaped joint that is formed by the small wrist bone and the first of the three bones in the thumb.
yes there is a saddle joint at the base of the thumb.
thumb
Your thumb is a lever because the joint that bends your thumb is a fulcrum.
My thumb, from the palm-thumb joint to the thumb-tip is 7.0 cm.
carpometacarpal joint
The types of joints found in thumb are: 1. Caropometacarpal joint where the metacarpal bone of the thumb attaches to the trapezium bone of the wrist. This joint is a saddle joint that allows two planes of motion with a small amount or rotation. 2. Metacarpophalangeal joint is the joint between the metacarpal bone and the phalanges of the thumb. This joint is an ellipsoid joint that allows movement in two planes and is biaxial. 3. Interphalangeal joint is the joint between the two phalanges of the thumb. This joint is a hinge joint that allows movement in one plane and is also referred to as uniaxial.
The metacarpels are at the base of the thumb.
The only area in the body where the saddle joint is located in is the thumb.
