Background: Chronic ulnar extensor tendon dislocation at the metacarpophalangeal joint causes permanent extension deficit and ulnar drift. Several soft tissue procedures have been described for realignment of the extensor tendon in post-traumatic reducible instability or in combination with joint replacement in case of altered metacarpophalangeal joint in inflammatory conditions. However, no studies reported correction of both extension lag and ulnar deviation following isolated surgical treatment of ulnar extensor tendon dislocation at the metacarpophalangeal joint.

Purpose: Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint replacement has become a valid option in the therapeutic arsenal of TMC joint osteoarthritis in Europe. Good mid-term results of the MAÏA TMC joint prosthesis suggested that it is a reliable procedure. This study aimed to assess the long-term results of this modular uncemented ball-and-socket hydroxyapatite-coated implant.
