“…1 The survey presented by Wolf and Delaronde is similar to the one published in 2010, with essentially the same findings. 2 Re-affirmation of a finding is certainly just as important as the original finding.…”

“…However, recent surveys of United States hand surgeons indicate that only 3% to 8% perform this technique routinely. 27,28 Trapeziectomy with autologous interposition graft In the 1970s, many surgeons adopted techniques to fill the trapezial void after excision. Most of these techniques used autologous tissues, usually tendon, and also reconstructed or reinforced the TMC joint ligaments.…”

“…The symptoms and threshold of dysfunction for seeking treatment appear variably dependent on patient-and disease-specific factors [26,33,36] which potentially affect the quality and number of expectations that patients have when offered treatment. Factors such as personal preference, aversion to medical intervention, and professional recommendations likely affect the decision to undergo treatment.…”

Background Although patient expectations associated with major orthopaedic conditions have shown clinically relevant and variable effects on outcomes, expectations associated with thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis have not been identified, described, or analyzed before, to our knowledge. Questions/purposes We asked: (1) Do patients with thumb CMC arthritis express characteristic expectations that are quantifiable and have measurable frequency? (2) Can a survey on expectations developed from patientderived data quantitate expectations in patients with thumb CMC arthritis? Methods The study was a prospective cohort study. The first phase was a 12-month-period involving interviews of 42 patients with thumb CMC arthritis to define their expectations of treatment. The interview process used techniques and principles of qualitative methodology including open-ended interview questions, unrestricted time, and study size determined by data saturation. Verbatim responses provided content for the draft survey. The second phase was a 12-month period assessing the survey for test-retest reliability with the recruitment of 36 participants who completed the survey twice. The survey was finalized from clinically relevant content, frequency of endorsement, weighted kappa values for concordance of responses, and intraclass coefficient and Cronbach's alpha for interrater reliability and internal consistency. Results Thirty-two patients volunteered 256 characteristic expectations, which consisted of 21 discrete categories. Expectations with similar concepts were combined by eliminating redundancy while maintaining original terminology. These were reduced to 19 items that comprised a one-page survey. This survey showed high concordance, interrater reliability, and internal consistency, with weighted kappa values between 0.58 and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.39-0.78; p \ 0.001); intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.94 (95% CI, 0.94-0.98; p\0.001), and Cronbach's alpha values of 0.94 and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.91-0.
