Article Synopsis
- The study compares two surgical treatments for thumb osteoarthritis—total trapeziectomy and trapeziometacarpal prostheses—by analyzing complications and their prevalence based on 74 reviewed articles involving 4,865 patients.
- Severe complications occurred more frequently with prostheses (23.88%) than with trapeziectomy (6.13%), leading to higher revision rates for prostheses (12.8%) compared to trapeziectomy (2.0%).
- The results suggest that total trapeziectomy might be better reserved for complex revision surgeries, particularly for patients with lower functional demands, due to the higher uncertainty surrounding complications after revising trapeziectomies.
