Treatment of Basal Joint Arthritis of the Thumb: Trapeziectomy With or Without Tendon Interposition/Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract: This prospective study compared the outcome--subjective, objective and radiographic--of two surgical techniques for treating basal joint arthritis of the thumb: a "simple" trapeziectomy (group I) and a ligament reconstruction/tendon (group II) interposition technique. There were respectively 22 patients in group I and 34 in group II, all women with primary osteoarthritis. Both techniques gave favourable results and there were no significant differences for pain relief, patient satisfaction, mobility, DASH-scor… Show more

“…De Smet et al reported data on a cohort of patients undergoing trapeziectomy and/or LRTI who mobilized within a week. 30 In their series of 56 patients, only one procedure failed requiring arthrodesis. It is our opinion that the optimum period of immobilization has not yet been determined and this is an area requiring further research.…”

“…Trapezial resection with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) is the most popular of the available surgical alternatives while others favor surgery without ligament reconstruction or the less complicated trapezial resection alone [5,14] but patients may experience thumb subsidence and other resultant symptoms and therefore, trapezial retention arthroplasty may be preferable [1,9,20,22].…”

“…A simples ressecção do trapézio é relatada por poucos autores, como um possível risco de artrose entre as superfícies incongruentes da base do 1 o metacarpiano e do escafóide (32) . No entanto, estudos pós-operatórios de seguimentos a longo prazo não demonstraram essa complicação (3)(4)6) embora Iyer tenha observado quistos na base do 1 o metacarpiano em 60% de seus casos, que não influenciaram no resultado final (7) . Não observamos essas alterações nas nossas pacientes, mesmo nas operadas havia mais de 10 anos.…”

“…Estudos comparativos entre a trapeziectomia com e sem ligamentoplastia sugerem que não há benefícios de uma técnica sobre outra (2)(3)(20)(21) . Embora vários recursos tenham sido tentados para evitar a migração do 1 o metacarpiano após a remoção do trapézio, como a ligamentoplastia ou suspensão, fixação com fios de Kirschner ou imobilização pós-operatória prolongada, nenhum deles manteve a altura do espaço original entre a base do 1 o metacarpiano e o escafóide.…”
