Is there still a place for arthrodesis in the surgical treatment of basal joint osteoarthritis of the thumb? KU Leuven
Despite the obvious success of arthroplasty – trapeziectomy with or without interposition and prosthesis – in the treatment for trapezio-metacarpal osteoarthritis, one may question the value of an arthrodesis in particular situations. In most reportesd series the outcome is reasonably succesful, but when comparing the results of arthrodesis with arthroplasty, there is convincing evidence that the latter gives better outcomes.
