Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of the first patients who received a dual-mobility trapeziometacarpal prosthesis in our centre, for first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis, with a minimum 5-year follow-up.
Patients and methods
Fifty-seven patients received a total trapeziometacarpal ball-and-socket arthroplasty with the Touch® prosthesis for severe arthritis and one for significant laxity. Four patients underwent bilateral surgery. One was lost of follow-up and three died during the study. Function was assessed before surgery and at one, 3, 5 and 10-years follow-up visits. Visual analog scale for pain, active thumb range of motion, including Kapandji’s score, key-pinch grip strength and patients’ satisfaction outcomes were recorded by an independent observer. Standardized radiographs were obtained to assess osteolysis, loosening, and subsidence.
Results
Patients were followed for an average of 6.5 years (5–8.8). Pain decreased from 7.3 to 0.4, range of motion increased, and key grip strength improved from 67% to 102% of the contralateral side. Metacarpophalangeal hyperextension was present in 26 thumbs (46%) before surgery (5 severe, more than 30°), and in 19 thumbs (33%) at follow-up. Z-deformity was reported in 13 cases (23%) preoperatively and in 2 cases (4%) postoperatively. At maximum follow-up, radiographs showed minor osteolysis in 4 cases (7%) around the trapezium component and in 7 cases (12%) around the metacarpal component. One revision (2%) was required for cup loosening 7 years after surgery. All patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment.
Conclusions
This prospective study of 61 Touch® dual mobility prostheses confirms that this implant is a safe and effective treatment option for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis in the short and medium term. Continued follow-up is necessary to assess the long-term outcomes of this arthroplasty.
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.
