Imagine putting your hands through that rigor everyday.
This month marks my 45'th year in the construction trade.
The overuse and abuse my hands have endured is taking it's toll.

Thumb basal joint (where the thumb meets the wrist): This joint is exposed to very high stresses with normal activities. Forces felt at the tip of the thumb are multiplied 12 times in their effect to the thumb base, thus predisposing this joint to wear. Arthritis of this joint is very common. Attempts at silicone replacement of this joint have not been as successful as hoped due to implant failure and bone destruction.
