The Effect of a Bone Tunnel During Ligament Reconstruction for Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis: A 5-Year Follow-up

Outcomes of Surgical Management for Thumb Basilar Arthritis in Patients 55 Years of Age and Younger

“…Spekreijse et al noted equivalent satisfaction and improvements in grip and pinch strength between LRTI (n = 27, mean age = 65 years) and Weilby suspensionplasty (n = 26, mean age = 64 years) at a mean follow-up of 5.3 years. 6 Similarly, the current study noted no significant difference between LRTI and MWS for thumb base motion, pinch strength, or subjective outcome scores. However, there was a significant difference in the magnitude of grip strength improvement favoring MWS over LRTI.…”

Surgical Treatment for Rhizarthrosis: A Systematic Review of the Last 10 Years

“…Vermeulen et al (2014) 10 , compared T + LRTI (FCR) with or without bone tunnel, and obtained faster recovery in tunnel group, however, 12 months after surgery, the functional outcome was similar. Spekreijse et al 11 (2015), comparing T + LRTI(FCR) with or without bone tunnel, showed that improved function, strength, and satisfaction obtained at 1 year after, was maintained after 5 years. Zajonc et al 12 (2016), in 38 patients, compared T +LRTI (APL) from Lundborg and Sirotakova techniques.…”

Partial Versus Total Trapeziectomy With Interposition Arthroplasty for Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis Grade II to III Eaton-Littler: A Clinical Trial

“… 24 The follow-up assessment 1 year after surgery might be insufficient to evaluate the radiological and clinical evolution of both procedures in the long term. 25 Interrater agreement between radiologists for trapezial height measurement was not assessed, which with the quality of the images might be a source of error. 26 …”
