| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the present study was to compare the results of patients operated with trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) using flexor carpi radialis tendon versus trapeziectomy followed by suspension of the first metacarpal to the second metacarpal using a Mini TightRope® suture button (suture button suspension: SBS). A single-center prospective randomized controlled trial was performed, comparing 37 patients with SBS and 39 with LRTI. All surgeries were performed by the same fellowship-trained hand surgeon. Patients were assessed by an independent observer at 40 months' follow-up. Pre- and postoperative strength, trapezial space ratio (TSR), range of motion, QuickDASH and visual analogue pain score were recorded. Both procedures improved functional parameters of pain, key strength, tip strength and grip strength while maintaining range of motion, without significant differences. In the SBS group, TSR decreased by 17%, compared to 28% in the LRTI group. The mean operative time was shorter in SBS (63 vs 91 minutes; p < 0.0001), as was immobilization time (2 vs 6 weeks; p < 0.0001), and patients resumed normal activity sooner (10 vs 12 week; p = 0.0138) and required less physical therapy (19.3 vs 13.1 weeks; p < 0.0001). We believe that our results are related to the hypothesis suggested by biomechanical studies that revealed better initial load bearing profile and maintenance of trapezial space following serial loading in cadaver models. | pt_PT |
