We report a case of rupture of the EPL tendon that occurred in a patient with trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. We assume that the rupture was secondary to attrition caused by a bony protrusion of advanced trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis.

A systematic review of systematic reviews comparing simple trapeziectomy versus trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.

Background: The outcomes of simple trapeziectomy (T) versus trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) for trapeziometacarpal (TMC) osteoarthritis have been compared in several systematic reviews (SRs) with conflicting results across the various outcomes studied. Despite a lack of conclusions regarding the superiority of one treatment versus the other, LRTI remains the most popular surgical option. This raises the questions of whether published SRs are of high methodological quality, and whether discordant conclusions can be attributed to differences in methodologic quality.

Background: Trapeziectomy and abductor pollicis longus hammock ligamentoplasty may be performed in the surgical management of trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (TMC OA). Several anaesthesia techniques are available for TMC joint surgery, including wide-awake local anaesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT), regional anaesthesia, and general anaesthesia (GA). The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of trapeziectomy and abductor pollicis longus hammock ligamentoplasty performed under WALANT versus GA.

Background: Type II lunate has an extra facet with the hamate. This difference alters the biomechanics of the midcarpal joint, influencing the development of scapho-trapezio-trapezoid (STT) arthritis. We aimed to investigate whether, in patients with trapeziometacarpal (TMC) osteoarthritis (OA), involvement of the STT joint is associated with the lunate type.

The present study aims to determine if morphological differences of the scaphoid, trapezoid, and second metacarpal are associated with thumb osteoarthritis by comparing three-dimensional bone models of healthy controls and osteoarthritis patients. Fifty-eight patients with moderate to severe thumb osteoarthritis (modified Eaton ≥ II) and 35 healthy controls from a larger completed investigation were examined. To quantify morphological variations, a statistical shape model was created that classified binary with respect to the Eaton grading system: non-osteoarthritis or moderate/severe osteoarthritis (II-IV).

Introduction: Rhizarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, predominantly affects women over 50, with up to 30% experiencing some degree of arthritis in this joint. Traditional surgical approaches, such as trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction, can result in some patients in persistent pain or limited functionality. TMC ball-in-socket arthroplasty, with a cup placed in the distal scaphoid, offers a promising alternative to traditional arthrodesis or resection-suspension arthroplasty.
