To our knowledge, to date, 52 patients with thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC1 OA) were treated with joint distraction. So far, most patients experienced improved physical function and less pain. After 2 years, only 1 patient proceeded to trapeziectomy. This study assesses if we can safely lower the distraction duration from 8 to 6 weeks for CMC1 joint distraction, maintaining the improvement in physical function and pain. This is a monocenter randomized controlled non-inferiority trial that includes patients younger than 65
