Trapeziectomy with Ligament Reconstruction and Interposition Arthroplasty Using the Palmaris Longus Tendon: An Average 5-Year Follow-up.

Conclusions: The modified LRTI procedure provided significant subjective and objective improvements without severe complications particularly related to the harvesting of the PL tendon. This procedure is a valuable surgical option for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis and could be a useful salvage modality if the FCR tendon ruptures during the conventional LRTI procedure.
