Gliederung

Text

Purpose: To investigate the short-term functional outcomes of arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the basal joint of the thumb using our new type of silicone prosthesis. The indications were osteoarthritis in grade III and IV, unsuccesfull conservative treatment, elderly patient, and no requirements for manual work.

Methods: We observed 82 patients, operated in the years 2014 -2016 who received basal joint resection arthroplasty with our new type of silicone replacement. Subjective outcome measures included patient satisfaction scores, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores.

Result: At an average follow-up of 4 years, majority of the pacients subjectively scored the procedure as good or excellent and reported improvement in activities of daily living. No intraoperative complications were reported, only 7 early postoperative complications were reported for incorrect indication.

Conclusions: Basal joint arthroplasty using our new type of silicon implant provides very good short-term results for carpometacarpal thumb osteoarthritis. The procedure is safe, with a low complication rate Evaluation of the results after four years with measured by patient satisfaction and functional outcome is encouraging.
