Resection arthroplasty versus dual mobility prosthesis in the treatment of trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis: A 3 year non-randomized prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Resection arthroplasty (RA) is still the most common surgical intervention for the treatment of symptomatic trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint osteoarthritis. The implantation of a dual mobility prosthesis may represent a joint function preserving alternative. The aim of the presented study is to prospectively compare the outcomes of RA with dual mobility prosthesis.

Methods

In this 2-center non-randomized prospective study, we compared results of RA (n = 22) with implantation of a dual mobility prosthesis (n = 49) (Touch®) at a minimum of 3-year follow-up. The patients underwent preoperative assessments and postoperative follow-up at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months. Comparisons were conducted, covering pain assessment via the visual analogue scale (VAS), thumb rang
