In this cadaveric study, we compared the performance of the TOUCH® dual mobility trapeziometacarpal prosthesis implanted sequentially in the trapeziometacarpal joint and scaphometacarpal joint. Intraprosthetic mobility, implant dislocation, intraprosthetic impingement and the effect on scaphoid position were evaluated in six hands using radiographic measurements. The standard necks of 6-10 mm were used for trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty. Scaphometacarpal arthroplasty after trapeziectomy was technically feasible but required specially designed prosthetic necks 12-26 mm in length. Compared to trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty, scaphometacarpal arthroplasty increased the intraprosthetic mobility by 7%-39%. While no complications occurred with trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty, there were two instances of implant dislocation and seven instances of intraprosthetic impingement with scaphometacarpal arthroplasty. Unlike trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty, scaphometacarpal arthroplasty altered scaphoid position by translating it in an ulnar and proximal direction relative to the radius.

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.

Backround: Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis has been treated with interposition of autologous fascia into the trapezial resection cavity to prevent scaphometacarpal impingement with suboptimal results. Autologous fascia may undergo necrosis and gradual shrinkage due to avascularity. We propose vascularization of the interposed fascia using microvascular techniques as a new alternative to achieve a durable graft with sufficient soft tissue volume.

Pain after trapeziectomy is a vexing problem, most commonly due to scaphometacarpal impingement. A number of treatment strategies have been described and are examined in this systematic review. In total, 27 studies describing revision surgery for unsatisfactory results after trapeziectomy were included.

The aim of this Delphi study was to provide a diagnostic and treatment algorithm for patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms after trapeziometacarpal joint resection arthroplasty. Three Delphi rounds were conducted in which surveys were sent to 182 experienced hand surgeons worldwide. Responses were received from 140 participants.
