Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze postoperative dislocation rates in single-mobility (Ivory) versus dual-mobility (Moovis) trapezometacarpal (TMC) joint prostheses. Second, we report complications requiring additional surgery in these 2 types of prostheses. Methods: We retrospectively obtained data of all patients receiving a TMC joint prothesis at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2020. We recorded the type of implant used (ie, single vs dual mobility; Ivory vs Moovis), and recorded dislocations and complications requiring additional surgery. Results: We recorded significantly more prosthetic dislocations in the single-mobility (Ivory) group (n = 6, 9.7%), compared with the dual-mobility (Moovis) group (n = 1, 1.4%). The most frequent complication requiring additional surgery was De Quervain tendinitis (n = 13, 9.6%). Conclusions: This study shows that a dual-mobility TMC prosthesis has significantly less postoperative dislocations compared with its single-mobility counterpart. We identity De Quervain tendinitis as the most frequent complication requiring additional surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
