We evaluated secondary trapeziectomy for revision of trapeziometacarpal implants and compared this to primary trapeziectomy with a matched retrospective single centre study performed between October 2003 and February 2015. Thirty-one patients with trapeziometacarpal prosthesis failure who had a secondary trapeziectomy were matched with a primary trapeziectomy regarding sex, date of the operation and age. We evaluated function, mobility, autonomy, pain, strength, complications and shortening of the thumb on radiographs. The median time until removal of the implant was 37 months. The median age in both groups was similar. Median follow-up was more than 7 years in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of function, mobility, autonomy, pain, strength, complications and shortening of the thumb. Secondary trapeziectomy after revision of trapeziometacarpal implants provides results comparable with primary trapeziectomy. III.

Surgical Rhizarthrosis Treatment: Trapezius Resection Arthroplasty Associated with Tendon Interposition versus the Kuhns Technique.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical and functional outcomes of two surgical procedures performed in patients with severe grade III and IV rhizarthrosis. We evaluated 39 patients who underwent two surgical techniques for rhizarthrosis treatment: trapeziectomy using the Kuhns technique or tendon interposition, with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. The primary outcome assessment used the specific Trapeziometacarpal Arthrosis Symptoms and Disability (TASD) questionnaire, and the secondary outcome evaluation employed the shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire and the visual analog scale (VAS).

Aims: The primary aim of this study was to assess functional and patient reported outcomes among those with first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis treated with the Pyrocardan implant (Stryker-Wright Medical) in Ireland. The secondary aim of this study was to assess implant survival and revision rates.
Methods: We conducted a single surgeon retrospective study assessing 40 Pyrocardan arthroplasties among 37 patients, with a minimum of 6 months follow-up.
Secondary Linburg-Comstock syndrome post-trapeziectomy surgery.
BMJ Case Rep

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, UK
Article Synopsis
- Linburg-Comstock syndrome is a condition where the thumb and index finger's flexor tendons become inflamed, leading to restricted movement and possible pain or swelling in patients.
- A case study highlighted an 80-year-old woman who developed this syndrome without pain after undergoing trapeziectomy surgery for arthritis, which is a unique occurrence.
- This report is significant because it is the first documented instance of Linburg-Comstock syndrome arising as a complication following trapeziectomy, contributing to our understanding of post-surgical complications.

Arthritis of the first carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is a common pathology hand surgeons encounter. Treatment begins with conservative measures, but when they fail, surgery is a viable option for providing relief to patients. The most widely used surgical technique is CMC arthroplasty with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI).

Article Synopsis
- Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis is a common and painful hand condition, and this study analyzed the long-term healthcare costs of different treatment options, specifically comparing surgery (CMC arthroplasty) and steroid injections.
- The research included 18,705 patients and looked at healthcare costs and usage from one year before intervention to three years after, finding that surgical patients initially had higher costs and usage compared to those receiving steroid injections.
- However, by the three-year mark, surgical patients ended up with lower annual costs and utilization, but their overall three-year expenses were still greater due to the initial costs of surgery.
