Just to clarify:
Basilar joint arthritis essentially is arthritis of the joint at the base of the thumb. There is a reconstructive surgery out there where they take a piece of a tendon from the arm and sort of a make a loop between the joint, it functions as a sort of artificial cartilage. My dad had the same procedure with good results. He paid for it though (or at least his medical insurance did). No idea what the cost is but $30k is probably about correct.
Also, basilar arthritis is the result of years of repetitive injury. It doesn't come up after one year of work...
