    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Osteoarthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is common, particularly in postmenopausal women.
    • Management requires tailored surgical approaches based on patient demographics and disease characteristics.
    • Previous treatments like trapezium resection have limitations in preserving joint stability and strength.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate surgical interventions for thumb CMC joint osteoarthritis.
    • To compare the efficacy of different surgical techniques, including arthrodesis, arthroplasty, and prosthesis implantation.
    • To guide treatment selection based on patient profiles and specific joint involvement.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical outcomes for various treatments of thumb CMC joint osteoarthritis.

  • Preference for Silastic interposition arthroplasty over cemented total replacement.
  • Evaluation of Swanson trapezium prosthesis with soft tissue stabilization for extensive trapezium involvement.

    • Main Results:

    • Good to very good subjective and objective outcomes achieved with surgical interventions.
    • Arthrodesis remains the primary choice for young manual laborers with isolated post-traumatic CMC osteoarthritis.
    • Arthroplasty is the preferred method for postmenopausal women with prevalent osteoarthritis.
    • Swanson trapezium prosthesis implantation demonstrates favorable results, justifying future application.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management of thumb CMC joint osteoarthritis offers effective solutions.
    • Treatment selection should be individualized, favoring arthrodesis, arthroplasty, or prosthesis based on patient factors.
    • The modified Swanson prosthesis shows promise for increased future use in isolated CMC osteoarthritis cases.
