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.

Purpose Of The Study: Rhizarthrosis-osteoarthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is usually a primary idiopathic disease. Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is one of the surgical treatment options for symptomatic advanced thumb CMC arthritis. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the mid-term functional and radiological results of TJA with the minimum follow-up period of 3 years after the surgery.

Purpose: The absence of evidence based general guidelines for radiographic follow-ups of pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures treated with ESIN results in an arbitrary array of X-ray examinations. In most pediatric traumatology departments, an X-ray check is carried out 4 weeks after ESIN osteosynthesis of forearm shaft fractures to detect incipient consolidation of the fracture. However, the elevated sensitivity to ionizing radiation requires special precautions in the pediatric populations.
