Dr. Gautam Malhotra is the first hand surgeon in South Orange County to perform the TOUCH® Dual-Mobility Thumb Base Joint Replacement by KeriMedical. The procedure was performed at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center.
Often described as a “total hip replacement” for the thumb, the TOUCH® Dual-Mobility Thumb Base Joint Replacement replaces the arthritic joint at the base of the thumb with a small ball-and-socket implant.
Today’s thumb arthritis surgeries work well. This new technology may offer:
- Greater grip and pinch strength
- A quicker recovery
- Long-term satisfaction
TOUCH® has been used in Europe since 2018 and is now FDA approved in the U.S. We’re proud to have Dr. Malhotra leading the way in Orange Count!
