A trapeziectomy is a surgical operation to remove the trapezium bone, which is one of the small bones in the wrist. It is usually performed to relieve pain and disability caused by a damaged or arthritic trapezium. The trapezium bone plays a significant role in wrist movement and flexibility, and removing it can help alleviate issues such as arthritis, ganglion cysts, or A1 pulley tears. However, it requires a complete rearrangement of forces and can potentially lead to wider, potentially severe consequences on the wrist and hand function.
