We compared 84 patients with the Ivory trapeziometacarpal prosthesis versus 62 with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition arthroplasty performed for osteoarthritis. There were 134 women and 12 men with a mean age of 60 years. Prospective clinical assessment was made using the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, visual analogue scale for pain, range of motion, and grip and pinch strength. The mean follow-up was 4 years (range 2–5). Prosthetic replacement provided significantly better thumb abduction, adduction, pinch strength, QuickDASH, pain relief, satisfaction and a faster return to daily activities and previous work. Revision surgery was required for two patients in the prosthesis group, two for dislocation and one cup loosening, while in the ligament reconstruction group there were no revisions. We conclude that trapeziometacarpal prosthesis provides better mid-term results in terms of function compared with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition for patients with Stages 2 and 3 osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint.

We report the results of a prospective study using a dual mobility trapeziometacarpal prosthesis (Touch®) in 107 patients with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. One-hundred and two patients (95%) were very satisfied or satisfied with the functional outcomes and the mean pain intensity in visual analogue scale decreased from 7.4 to 0.8 ( p < 0.001). Thumb opposition (Kapandji score) index increased from an average of 8.0 to 9.4, while the mean QuickDASH score improved from 38 preoperatively to 20 at follow-up ( p < 0.01). Key-pinch strength improved from 3.5 kg (range 0.5–9.5) to 5.5 kg (range 3.0–11.5). There was a 4.6% rate of complications, including cup loosening and wear of polyethylene, which required revision, but no cases of prosthetic dislocation were seen. Applying the dual mobility principle to trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty may significatively improve the stability of these prostheses. Radiolucent zones around the components of the prostheses are not systematic predictors of future loosening. Level of evidence: IV

Isolated osteoarthritis of the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid joint is rather rare compared with thumb trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcome of 15 consecutive patients treated with trapeziectomy/ligament reconstruction tendon interposition for isolated scaphotrapeziotrapezoid osteoarthritis of the wrist. After a mean follow-up of 54 months, 14 patients (15 wrists) were available for clinical and radiological examination. The median pain intensity was 0 on a 0–10 visual analogue scale, both at rest and with activity, mean grip strength averaged 24 kg, pinch strength 5 kg. The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score was 16, and a modified Mayo Wrist Score 84. Correlation between the degree of scaphotrapezoid osteoarthritis and pain at rest, pain with activity, and DASH score was not significant. The findings from our study suggest that trapeziectomy/ligament reconstruction tendon interposition is an effective procedure for treating isolated scaphotrapeziotrapezoid osteoarthritis, and that additional partial trapezoid excision is not necessary.

Abstract Objective Pyrocardan trapeziometacarpal interposition implant is a free intra-articular spacer composed of pyrocarbon. This biconcave resurfacing implant, both ligament and bone-stock sparing, is indicated for use in early-to-moderate stage trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. It was hypothesized that the postoperative outcome measures of the Pyrocardan implant would be comparable to those seen with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) surgeries and those reported by the designer of the implant, Phillipe Bellemère, but that strength would be greater than for LRTI. Methods In this prospective case series, 40 Pyrocardan implants were performed in 37 patients. Average age was 58 years (range: 46–71). Patients were assessed preoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and beyond (long term) wherever possible. Results There have been no major complications or revision surgeries for the series. Average follow-up was 29 months (range: 12 months–7 years). Twenty-eight joints were assessed at over 2 years post index surgery. Outcome measure scores improved from preoperative assessment to the most recent follow-up equal or greater than 2 years. Average grip strength at 2 years was 30 kg, as compared with 19.6 kg in an age-matched cohort who underwent trapeziectomy and 25 kg in Bellemère's original series of Pyrocardan implants. Conclusions Pyrocardan interposition arthroplasty appears to be a safe, effective treatment for trapeziometacarpal arthritis. Patient-reported clinical outcomes were at least equivalent to LRTI and are comparable to Bellemère's original series. Grip and pinch strength appear to be better than LRTI. Level of Evidence This is a Level III, prospective observational cohort study.

Utility Measures

Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) for trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis may have both postoperative benefits and complications. This study sought to determine the health state utility outcome measures of trapeziectomy with LRTI. Patients who underwent trapeziectomy with LRTI were invited to complete the brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire and utility questionnaires outcomes using a visual analogue scale , time trade-off and standard gamble. Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were derived from these utility measures. For this study 32 patients were recruited, with a mean age of 61. Most patients (27/32) perceived the procedure as successful. Utility measures and QALYs serve the purpose of comparing different surgical procedures in terms of their impact on the quality of life of patients as a function of the benefits and complications of each procedure. In this study, the utility of trapeziectomy with LRTI was less than has been described for open palmar fasciectomy but more than for total wrist arthrodesis. Level of evidence: IV

The primary aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological results after hemi-hamate resurfacing arthroplasty in patients with acute or chronic unstable fractures of the base of the middle phalanx and to describe technical features that can facilitate the surgical procedure. Hemi-hamate arthroplasties were done in 19 patients (mean age 39 years) with an isolated fracture at the base of the middle phalanx that involved more than 40% of the articular surface. We assessed ten chronic cases (treated >6 weeks after fracture) and nine acute ones (<6 weeks) at a mean of 24 months. Pain scores, QuickDASH scores, grip strengths, range of motion and radiological findings were recorded at follow-up. At follow-up, the mean active flexion at the proximal interphalangeal joint was to 83° with a mean fixed flexion of 17° (active range of motion 66°). The mean active distal interphalangeal motion was 41°. The mean visual analogue scale score was 1.1. The mean QuickDASH score was 11. The mean pinch strength was 82% of the opposite side. Radiographs revealed one partial graft lysis. Level of evidence: IV

Purpose: To investigate the long-term (> 10 yrs) outcomes of trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI). Methods: We reviewed 15 cases of trapeziectomy with LRTI performed for the treatment trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Mean follow up was 13.5 yrs (range, 10.5–17.5 yrs). We assessed a number of subjective and objective outcomes. A good outcome was a participant who did not require revision surgery, was satisfied with the outcome of their surgery and did not experience rest pain. Results: No patients had revision surgery and only two patients were unsatisfied or very unsatisfied with the outcome of their surgery. Pain with activity was the strongest predictor of participant satisfaction. Discussion: Approximately half the participants in this study experienced good long-term outcomes. Some participants were experiencing long-term symptoms, particularly pain, despite reporting that they are satisfied with the outcome of their surgery. Alternative techniques should be investigated that provide superior long-term outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of scaphoidectomy and capitolunate arthrodesis versus four-corner arthrodesis in patients with stage III scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) wrists. Methods We reviewed retrospectively all of the consecutive patients surgically treated in our center between 2007 and 2015, including 20 patients in the four-corner arthrodesis group and 11 patients in the capitolunate group. The mean follow-up time was of 47 months. The follow-up evaluation included wrist range of motion (ROM), grip strength, visual analogue scale (VAS), the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) questionnaire, and the Mayo wrist scale (MWS). Postoperative complications and the radiographic evaluation were also assessed. Results There was no statistical difference in flexion, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, grip strength, VAS, DASH or MWS scores. There was a statistically significant increase (6°) in extension in capitolunate arthrodesis versus four-corner arthrodesis, possibly without clinical relevance. There were two nonunions in the four-corner group, and none in the capitolunate group. None of the patients in the capitolunate group required screw removal. One patient in the four-corner group required dorsal plate removal. One patient in each group required conversion to total arthrodesis. Conclusions Capitolunate arthrodesis shows similar results in wrist ROM, grip strength and patient-reported outcomes when compared with four-corner arthrodesis at an average follow-up period of 4 years. We did not have any pisotriquetral arthritis in the capitolunate arthrodesis group, despite not removing the triquetrum in any of patients of this group. Type of study/level of evidence Therapeutic III.

Trapezial excision arthroplasty with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) modified to include proximal trapezoid excision was performed on 12 wrists in 10 patients with symptomatic, isolated scaphotrapezial-trapezoid (STT) arthritis. Wrist range of motion, lateral pinch and grip strength, and analog pain scores were measured pre- and post-operatively. Mean follow-up was 18 (11–42) months. Post-operatively, reported pain scores uniformly decreased ( p < 0.0001). Mean range of wrist flexion increased from 48 to 53° ( p < 0.05) and extension from 51 to 55° ( p < 0.05). There was also an overall increase in mean grip strength from 15.6 to 19.2 kg and pinch strength from 3.5 to 4.3 kg. Modified Mayo Wrist Scores were excellent in six cases, good in three, and fair in one. Our results suggest that modified total trapezial, partial trapezoidal excision and LRTI could be an effective surgical alternative in cases of isolated STT arthritis.
