[Arthrodesis of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb using a cannulated screw]

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To present the results of surgical treatment of carpometacarpal joint arthritis of the thumb, using cannulated screw fixation which is stable and, after bony union, allows the patient to do also harder manual work MATERIAL: In ... Read more...

Long-term follow-up of basal joint resection arthroplasty of the thumb with transfer of the abductor pollicis brevis origin to the flexor carpi radialis tendon.

29 Jun 2009 PURPOSE: To investigate the long-term functional and clinical outcomes of a tendon transfer during basal joint interposition arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the basal joint of the thumb, in which the origin of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) ... Read more...

Trapezium resection with suspension and interposition arthroplasty using acellular dermal allograft for thumb carpometacarpal arthritis.

2 Jun 2009 PURPOSE: Trapezium excision with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition has proved to be highly effective in the treatment of thumb carpometacarpal joint arthritis. Donor-site morbidity from autograft harvest can be avoided by using an ... Read more...
