Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common localization of OA affecting predominantly women. The etiology seems to be multifactorial and the disease heterogeneous, comprising several clinical and radiological subsets. Hand OA includes thumb base (trapeziometarcarpal joint), metacarpophalangeal joints, distal and proximal interphalangeal joints OA. We reviewed below the prevalence, diagnosis, imaging, epidemiology, risk factors, but mostly the last discoveries in the biology and pathophysiology with particular attention to the potential role of adipokines and genetic factors. Finally, we also reviewed the different treatments currently available as well as potential future therapies.

Most patients with post-traumatic and/or degenerative wrist arthritis present with pain and limitation of activities of daily living. Wrist denervation using a two-incision technique is an alternative to proximal row carpectomy and partial or total wrist arthrodesis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether two-incision denervation is a valid procedure for reducing pain in wrist arthritis of different etiologies.
