Systematic Comparison of Ligament Reconstruction With Tendon Interposition and Suture-Button Suspensionplasty for Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: Ligament reconstruction tendon interposition (LRTI) and suture-button suspensionplasty (SBS) are both common treatment options for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.
