Factors Associated With Reoperation After Silicone Metacarpophalangeal Joint Arthroplasty in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Silicone metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint arthroplasty has a high revision rate. It has been suggested that the preoperative degree of ulnar drift and radial wrist deviation influences the durability of MCP silicone arthroplasties. The goal of this study was to evaluate what factors are associated with reoperation after silicone MCP arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all adult patients who underwent MCP silicone arthroplasty between 2002 and 2016 at one institutional system for inflammatory arthritis. After manual chart review, we included 73 patients who underwent 252 arthroplasties. Fingers treated included 66 index, 67 long, 60 ring, and 59 small fingers. Results: The overall reoperation rate was 9.1% (N = 23). Indications f
