CMC Joint Surgery

Posted on May 2, 2014 by Badia Hand to Shoulder Center

The joint at the base of the thumb which allows for the swivel and pivoting motions of the thumb is referred to as the basal joint or thumb CMC (carpometacarpal) joint. Because of its design, it tends to wear out and develop arthritis early in life. Basal joint arthritis is also common in people who have osteoarthritis.

Dr Badia Exposing Barriers to Patient Care

As Reported in South Florida Hospital News

According to Dr. Badia, “People are challenged because of a flawed system. Staff at insurance companies with no medical training dictate what constitutes reimbursable care. The result is that their interference disrupts the doctor-patient relationship, delays or prevents delivery of care and presents obstacles to new approaches that would improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.

Dr Badia is the best orthopedic surgeon in Miami hands down. I need surgery because of a multiple fracture in my left... forearm. Went to other doctors (UM, mount Sinai) and they didn’t promise me I would recover 100% of my injuries and told me I would not be able to do sports again. Dr Badia did tell me I would heal 100% and it’s true. I did a much simpler surgery and fixed me in no time. Would recommend to anyone. Two thumbs upread more

From the first call I made to Dr. Badia‘s office I was impressed by the professionalism of the person who answered... the phone. When I arrived at the office for my appointment I was once again greeted in a professional manner. This professionalism radiated through all of the team. I hadn’t seen Dr. Badia for over 10 years and he greeted me as if we’ve been in contact with each other for years.read more

From my first visit the staff as well as the Dr. Badia have been exceptionally professional and caring. I had an injury... to my pinky finger, the required a placement of a rod in order to align. The surgery went well and was scheduled right away. The office staff has been amazing with scheduling and confirming appointments. Overall I am very happy with the care i received as well as the results. My finger healed and my range of motion has also gotten much better. Thank you Dr. Badiaread more
