Arthroscopy of the Trapeziometacarpal and Metacarpophalangeal Joints

Prospective Outcomes of Stage III Thumb Carpometacarpal Arthritis Treated With Arthroscopic Hemitrapeziectomy and Thermal Capsular Modification Without Interposition

“…The technique is less invasive than conventional open procedures; there is less chance of injury to the sensory branches of the radial nerve, and it is easily converted to a standard reconstruction if necessary. 6 Culp and Rekant 3 reported 88% excellent or good outcomes following arthroscopic partial or complete trapeziectomy without interposition in 24 thumbs. Thermal capsular modification was included in all patients.…”

Arthroscopic Resection Arthroplasty for Treatment of Combined Carpometacarpal and Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (Pantrapezial) Arthritis

“…1,2,[3][4][5][6][7] Indications have generally included substantial cartilage loss at the CMC joint, precluding a joint-sparing procedure, and a preserved scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) joint. Badia proposed an arthroscopic classification of the CMC joint based on arthroscopic findings that allows for better overall decision making of treatment options.…”

Trapézectomie partielle arthroscopique : étude radioanatomique de 14 cas

“…L'arthrose de l'articulation carpométacarpienne du pouce est, avec l'atteinte des interphalangiennes distales, la localisation la plus fréquente de l'arthrose à la main, mais elle est l'atteinte la plus invalidante fonctionnellement [1].…”
