Functional Loading

The thumb carpometacarpal joint, which is also known as the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint, is an essential load bearing joint subject to repetitive functional loading. The unique double saddle articular surfaces allow complex thumb movement, but also provide bony constraint. The TMC joint is the second most common hand joint affected by osteoarthritis (OA) [1]. Prior studies suggest that TMC OA prevalence in females is much higher than that in males [1], though there hasn’t been any conclusive explanation for etiology or gender difference. Better understanding of TMC joint mechanics will provide insights regarding OA development at this joint and possible variations due to gender differences. Better knowledge of the etiology will help to improve prevention and treatment. Extensive studies have been done based on cadaveric models [2]; while there have been very few in vivo studies on TMC joint mechanics. Therefore, the objective of this study is to quantitatively compare in vivo contact mechanics of TMC joint of males and females.

The purpose of this study was to define the normal thumb carpometacarpal joint kinematics in-vivo during opposition and abduction using four-dimensional computed-tomography in four volunteers. Movement of the metacarpal relative to the trapezium was quantified using both Euler and helical axis representations. Articular surface contact patterns were also analysed. The overall axis of rotation for the movement of opposition and abduction passes through the trapezium and the base of the proximal phalanx, respectively. An abrupt change in instantaneous axis of rotation at terminal opposition was found. Ligament modelling shows dorsoradial ligament becomes tauter towards terminal opposition, whereas anterior oblique ligament becomes more slack. These results support the existence of the ‘screw-home’ pivot at terminal opposition and the importance of the dorsoradial ligament for stability in this position. The normal reference set in this study can help establish a diagnostic tool for subtle carpometacarpal instability, or for evaluating efficacy of surgery.

This review describes the different possibilities for arthroplasties at the proximal interphalangeal joint, thumb carpometacarpal joint, distal radioulnar joint, metacarpophalangeal joint and the wrist. For each joint, the indication for arthroplasty is explained, the surgical technique with the suitable implant is described and a brief summary of the outcomes reported in the literature is given.
