First Carpometacarpal Joint

Harvesting the median nerve accidentally as a tendon graft, is a major complication of upper extremity surgery which is noted only rarely in the literature. This article seems to be the first report of the median nerve being used as an interposition material in first carpometacarpal joint arthroplasty.

Background and aim: Patients with mild to moderate first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis report pain, a reduction in pinch and grip strength and hand function. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of a custom-made neoprene thumb carpometacarpal orthosis with thermoplastic stabilization on pain, function, grip strength, and key pinch in these patients. Technique: A total of 11 volunteer patients participated in this study. All the above-mentioned parameters were evaluated at baseline and also 30, 60, and 90 days after using the splint. Discussion: A decrease in pain was observed after 30 days, and this continued to improve during treatment with the splint. After 90 days of using the splint, grip strength was improved. Function and pinch strength also increased significantly and was maintained during the study period compared to baseline. Clinical relevance A custom-made neoprene thumb carpometacarpal orthosis with thermoplastic stabilization may be a suitable conservative approach for the treatment of first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis.

Abstract A 70-year-old female patient treated with methotrexate for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc) came up with mechanical pain over the left thumb for several months. SSc was diagnosed based on a clinical picture associating puffy fingers, skin sclerosis, wrist arthralgia, pulmonary hypertension, presence of antinuclear factors and antibodies against Topoisomerase-I. Her complaint was attributed to first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis and treated with orthesis, which did not provide pain relief after 5 months of regular use. Hand radiograph showed first carpometacarpal arthropathy with joint space narrowing and marked sclerosis of the first proximal metacarpal (A). MRI showed an area of very low signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images (B) within the proximal metacarpal, distal trapezium and medial joint recess surrounded by bone marrow edema. Mild peripheral enhancement was present after gadolinium injection. CT-scan (C) showed that the low signal intensity material visible at MRI consisted of calcium. These aspects are suggestive of scleroderma arthropathy rather than common first carpometacarpal osteoarthritis. Though involvement of the first carpometacarpal joint is long time known in SSc [1], it remains exceptional when looking at cross-sectional studies [2]. Carefully analyzing imaging exams is the key point in order not to miss this rare scleroderma feature.

First Carpometacarpal Joint

Background: Patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC-1) may develop hyperextension of the first metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP-1). No clear clinical benefice has been reported consecutively to the surgical treatment of the MCP-hyperextension combined to a trapeziectomy. The reason of the missing benefit may be due to changes in the thumb position impairing the thumb stability secondary to the surgical procedures. We assessed changes in the transmission of forces at the thumb’s end phalanx following a trapeziectomy combined with the surgical adjustment of the hyperextension of the MCP-1-joint in a biomechanical investigation using cadavers. Methods: The thumb muscles were loaded with nylon cables connected to a tension meter in 8 forearm cadavers. A 6-axis force sensor assessed the termino-lateral key-pinch orthogonal strength vectors at the level of the thumb distal phalanx prior to any surgery, and following a simple trapeziectomy, a trapeziectomy combined to a MCP-1-capsulodesis and the transfer of the extensor pollicis brevis over the metacarpal-1 head, or to an MCP-1-arthrodesis. Results: Combination of the trapeziectomy with the MCP-1- joint palmar capsulodesis and EPB-transfer or with a MCP-arthrodesis in neutral pronation-supination resulted in a significant shift of the thumb in pronation-abduction with respect to the preoperative assessment. The lowest shift was achieved when performing the arthrodesis in 20° supination or by overloading of the adductor pollicis. Conclusions: Combining the trapeziectomy with surgeries addressing the MCP-1-joint hyperextension induced a shift of the thumb in pronation-abduction that could impair the key-pinch stability. When considering additional procedures for MCP-1-joint hyperextension deformities, it should be recommended to fix the EPB-tendon on the radial aspect of the metacarpal head if a tendon transfer is considered, otherwise the MCP joint arthrodesis should be performed in supinated position, in order to achieve lateral key-pinch stability.
