Published: September 2024

Interpositional arthroplasty for the treatment of hallux rigidus (HR) involves resection of the diseased joint surface and placement of spacer material within the joint to preserve length at the metatarsophalangeal joint while still allowing for range of motion. The majority of studies available in the literature have focused on capsular interpositional arthroplasty, revealing generally positive outcomes. Other forms of interpositional arthroplasty are less supported by long-term follow-up and large sample sizes. Moreover, there exists substantial heterogeneity in the studies evaluating interpositional arthroplasty. Despite the limitations of the current data, interpositional arthroplasty seems to be a viable treatment option for HR.

Background: Painful degeneration of the sternoclavicular joint refractory to nonoperative treatment has historically been managed with resection of the degenerative segment of the medial clavicle. Although this has produced good results with improvement in symptoms, recurrent pain necessitating revision surgery is not an infrequently encountered outcome. To reduce the occurrence of recurrent postoperative pain, a novel technique to reconstruct the intra-articular disc at the time of medial clavicle resection was developed.

Osteoarthritis of the scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal joint is frequent but often pain-free or well tolerated with non-surgical treatment. Surgical options are numerous and none seems to have clear evidence of superiority. In addition to well-established procedures, such as scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal joint arthrodesis, distal scaphoid resection and trapeziectomy, more recent surgical techniques have been reported.

Objective: We present long-term results for the Pyrocardan®, a pyrocarbon trapeziometacarpal interposition implant used for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the thumb.

Methods: Between March 2009 and May 2013, 199 arthroplasties were performed in a single hand center, in 184 patients by 6 hand surgeons. 107 implants were followed up for a mean 137 months (range, 120-168 months).
