We evaluated thumb pronation angles in patients with trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. Patients with a significantly decreased pronation angle showed a moderate correlation with the Eaton-Littler classification. Weakness of opponens pollicis function is associated with the development of trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. III.

Introduction: Costochondral grafting is well-known reconstructive option for the temporomandibular joint. In the upper extremity, non-vascularized costochondral grafts have been used for radial head reconstruction, for osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint and proximal pole reconstruction of the scaphoid. Evidence suggests that vascularization of bone grafts lead to a higher union rate and a faster time to union.

A new technique of tendon interposition arthroplasty with ligament reconstruction using the flexor carpi radialis tendon for a painful arthritic trapeziometacarpal joint of the thumb is described. Twenty-one patients had 25 operative procedures; 14 were women and seven were men.

Background: Thumb function is integral to hand movement and overall hand function. Impairment, often caused by carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis, reduces the quality of life. Here, we explored a novel approach using a mixture of the stromal vascular fraction, adipose-derived stem cells, and platelet-rich plasma to treat symptomatic trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint is a common condition affecting up to 70% of the general population, with symptomatic disease occurring in 6% of cases, predominantly in postmenopausal women. Among the therapeutic options, total prosthetic replacement of the trapeziometacarpal joint is gaining prominence. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive update on dual mobility total arthroplasty of the trapeziometacarpal joint.
