Short-term outcome trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition versus trapeziometacarpal prosthesis : a literature review.

Short-term outcome trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition versus trapeziometacarpal prosthesis : a literature review. Acta Orthop Belg. 2020 Mar;86(1):122-130 Authors: Verhulst K, Dauwe J, Van Nuffel M, De Smet L Abstract Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition and trapeziometacarpal prosthesis are two commonly used procedures for first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to compare the short-term outcome of trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition to trapeziometacarpal prosthesis. Pubmed, Cochrane library and science direct database were searched with adequate search terms. Used parameters were force, pain, mobility, functionality and complication. All papers describing short-term outcome of ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition or trapeziometacarpal prosthesis were included in this review. Trapeziometacarpal prostheses showed faster pain relief compared with trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition. Overall, there was a better strength in the trapeziometacarpal prosthesis group. A lack of information was found about the short- term functionality. The mobility recovers faster in the prosthesis group, although different scoring scales were used for measurement. We could confirm the faster pain relief in the prosthesis group and generally a faster recovery of strength and mobility. In ...
