  • The study aimed to assess the long-term effects of trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction with tendon interposition (LRTI) in patients under 56 years suffering from trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.
  • It involved a retrospective analysis of 105 patients, with 48 returning for follow-up assessments, measuring pain and hand function over a mean period of 11 years post-surgery.
  • Results indicated that while the procedures are generally effective, there is a deterioration in patient-reported outcomes and pain levels over time, suggesting the need to weigh the benefits against long-term effects.
