Abstract
This study investigates the outcomes of trapeziometacarpal joint reconstruction using a massive iliac crest graft in patients with loosening of the cup of a ball-and-socket prosthesis. Seven patients, aged 49–75 years, underwent revision surgery between November 2017 and January 2021 due to aseptic cup loosening of ball-and-socket implants. The surgical approach involved a modification of a previously described technique of harvesting a structural iliac crest graft and implanting it with the prosthetic cup component to reconstruct the medullary cavity of the trapezium. Postoperative assessments showed improvements in pinch and grip strength, while patient-reported outcomes, including Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, revealed significant reductions in pain and disability. Two patients required further revision surgery, including one technique failure. No acute complications or infections occurred. These results suggest that iliac crest graft reconstruction may be an effective salvage procedure for cup loosening in TMC prostheses with an intact trapezium cortex, providing favorable functional outcomes and pain relief.
期刊介绍:
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
