Short term results of ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition resection arthroplasty for basal joint arthritis.

Long-term outcome of trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) versus prosthesis arthroplasty for basal joint osteoarthritis of the thumb.

Several surgical techniques are available to treat thumb basal joint arthritis. In this study, we compare the long-term results of a thumb basal joint prosthesis (de la Caffinière or Roseland type prosthesis) with those of trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI). We could not find any difference between both techniques with respect to impairment, pain reductio...

Abstract: An Expertise-Based Prospective Feasibility Study Comparing Trapeziectomy with Ligament Reconstruction and Tendon Interposition (T+LRTI) Versus Partial Trapeziectomy and Tendon Interposition Arthroplasty (PT) in Patients with Basal Thumb Joint Arthritis

Outcomes following "double Knot" Suspension Arthroplasty for Basal Joint Arthritis of the Thumb.

BACKGROUND Various surgical options used in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the basal joint of the thumb that are refractory to non-surgical management. This study was conducted to provide short term functional outcomes using the mentioned technique in treating basal joint arthritis of the thumb. METHODS We treated basal joint arthritis of the thumb by trapeziumectomy and volar oblique lig...
