The trapezoid articular surface of the trapezium (TRAST) angle was calculated, and four different cup designs were virtually positioned centrally in the trapezium and parallel to the proximal articular surface. Risk of perforation was defined as a cup that exceeds the ulnar border of the proximal articular surface. The mean TRAST angle in our study was 33°. Risk of perforation is higher when the second metacarpal facet is smaller than 5 mm and when the TRAST angle is 35° or more.

Overall, PIPJ implant arthroplasty is a good and reliable option for symptomatic PIPJ degenerative, post-traumatic or inflammatory arthritis given the proper clinical setting. If current techniques for implantation and rehabilitation are followed, predictable pain relief and satisfactory function can be anticipated. The purpose of this review article is to examine the current evidence-based indications for PIPJ arthroplasty and examine the reported, implant-specific outcomes of this procedure.

Gross changes to the tendon were assessed during plate removal. In total, 32 patients demonstrated clinical abnormality. Soong 2 position was noted in 13 patients. Ultrasound revealed tenosynovitis in nine patients, tendon fibrillation or thickening in four patients and a single case of partial discontinuity. Intraoperative assessment revealed tenosynovitis in 28 patients and tendon fibre discontinuity in eight patients. Ultrasound findings were not predictive of intraoperative tenosynovitis and discontinuity. A relationship was noted between higher Soong grade, especially grade 2, and intraoperative presence of tenosynovitis, as well as Soong grade and amount of soft-tissue coverage.
