Degenerative joint disease of the trapezium: a comparative radiographic and anatomic study.
TL;DR: Routine anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique radiographs of the hand cannot be depended upon to provide adequate visualization of all the trapezial joints, and degenerative joint changes were rare in the trazzium-index metacarpal and trapezium-trapezoid joints.

Prospective analysis of splinting the first carpometacarpal joint: an objective, subjective, and radiographic assessment.
TL;DR: Both splints appear to reduce subluxation at the first CMC joint in patients with grades 1 and 2 osteoarthritis, and the majority of the patients picked the short splint when asked at the end of the study which splint they preferred.
