“…It is clear that it is not American authors who have resistance or difficulty in declaration of LOE. While the current review is focused on the J Hand Surg Am and J Hand Surg Eur publications, several articles have been published reporting the LOE in other journals (Andersson et al., 2018; Boretto et al., 2019; Boyer et al., 2019; Ehrl et al., 2016; El Amiri et al., 2019; Frueh et al., 2014; Fujihara et al., 2018; Goorens et al., 2018; Hohendorff et al., 2017; 2018; Huttin et al., 2018; Kamphuis et al., 2019; Karakaplan et al., 2019; Ma et al., 2017; Mulders et al., 2017; Rijnja et al., 2017; Robinson et al., 2017; Tang et al., 2017; Thorkildsen and Rokkum, 2019; Uluyardimci et al., 2019; van Zyl et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2017; Yeo et al., 2015).

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the trend in documentation of surgeon level of expertise among the Journal of Hand Surgery (American Volume) and the Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume) publications. A review of Journal of Hand Surgery (American Volume) and Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume) databases for level of expertise between January 2015 and October 2019 was performed. Of 1042 articles identified, all 115 (20%) reporting level of expertise were published in Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume). Since 2015, there has been an increase in reported level of expertise in Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume) (2015: 8 (7%); 2016: 15 (13%); 2017: 22 (19%); 2018: 28 (24%); 2019: 42 (37%)). In the same period, no publications have reported level of expertise in Journal of Hand Surgery (American Volume). Documenting level of expertise may provide readers with additional information for incorporation of novel techniques into their practices. It may identify procedures that require a baseline level of expertise for effective performance. Further evaluation of level of expertise criteria may improve the reliability of the numeric scale, while widespread adoption of this scale will allow future outcome analysis by level of expertise.

“…Besides a significantly better ROM, pinch strength, DASH, pain relief and satisfaction, Cebrian-Gomez et al described a faster return to work in the Ivory prosthesis group [3]. Unlike the results of Cebrian-Gomez et al, Thorkildsen and Røkkum did not find any significant difference in DASH scores between TMC joint arthroplasty and trapeziectomy but did find better motion and strength in the prosthesis group [4].…”

“…Several studies have been published comparing total joint arthroplasty with trapeziectomy, but only reporting short-term results [1][2][3][4][5]. Jager et al described higher satisfaction, mobility, strength, pain reduction and functional scores in favor of the MAIA® total joint prosthesis [1].…”

“…The two most widely used surgical procedures for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint are the trapeziectomy and TMC joint arthroplasty. In recently published research it is hypothesized that TMC joint arthroplasty is superior compared to trapeziectomy in terms of pain, strength, range of motion (ROM), satisfaction and recovery [1][2][3][4][5]. However, most studies present short-term follow-up and thus long-term data are of interest.…”

Background The aim of this study was to determine long-term survival and clinical outcomes of the surface replacement trapeziometacarpal joint prosthesis (SR™TMC) and to evaluate implant migration using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Methods In this clinical long-term follow-up study outcomes of ten patients who received the SR™TMC joint prosthesis were evaluated using DASH and Nelson scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, and key pinch strength. RSA-radiographs were obtained direct postoperatively and 6 months, 1, 5 and 10 years postoperatively and were analyzed using model-based RSA software. Results During follow-up, two early revisions took place. Mean pre-operative DASH and Nelson scores were 54 (SD 15) and 54 (SD 17), improved significantly after 6 months (DASH 25 (SD 20), Nelson 75 (SD 18)) and remained excellent during long-term follow-up in all patients with a stable implant. At final follow-up, clinical scores deteriorated clearly in two patients with a loose implant in situ. Conclusions Long-term survival of the SR™TMC joint prosthesis is relatively poor. However, clinical outcomes improved significantly in the short-term and remained excellent in the long-term in those patients with a stable implant, but deteriorated clearly in case of loosening. The role of RSA in TMC joint arthroplasty is potentially valuable but needs to be further investigated. Several challenges of RSA in the TMC joint have been addressed by the authors and suggestions to optimize RSA-data are given. Trial registration This study was registered in the Netherlands Trial Register (NL7126).

“…The difference may diminish over time, but long-term studies indicate that better grip strength is sustained (Froschauer et al., 2020). Only one randomized study has been published that compared the Elektra prosthesis with trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction (Thorkildsen and Rokkum, 2019). The patients with total joint replacement had a more rapid rehabilitation, but at 2 years there were no differences in functional results.…”

For thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis, trapeziectomy provides generally good results with reduction of pain and restoration of thumb mobility, but shortening of the thumb may at least in theory lead to reduction in grip and pinch strength. Furthermore, instability of the base of the first metacarpal and contact with the scaphoid may occur regardless of the several described techniques with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition. Thus, for years alternatives to trapeziectomy have been explored and reported with disputable success. Often the road from idea to implantation in patients seems to have been short, and high complication rates and failure of new implant designs have been fairly common. This has led to the general impression that the implants do not provide sufficient benefits compared with simple trapeziectomy. More recent uncemented total joint replacement designs have shown rapid rehabilitation, reduction of pain, restoration of grip strength and movement, and much improved long-term implant survival. These factors may make total joint replacement a realistic alternative to trapeziectomy. Still, patient selection has to be improved, as the benefits may be small in the low activity elderly patient.
