Using machine learning to identify risk factors for short-term complications following thumb carpometacarpal arthroplasty.

Background: Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis is among the most common degenerative hand diseases. Thumb CMC arthroplasty, or trapeziectomy with or without tendon augmentation, is the most frequently performed surgical treatment and has a strong safety profile. Though adverse outcomes are infrequent, the ability to predict risk for complications has substantial clinical benefits.
