The effect of trapeziometacarpal joint arthroplasty on dorsoradial offset and thumb length

Abstract

Trapeziometacarpal joint arthroplasty achieved a physiological correction of joint position with regards to dorsoradial offset and thumb length, when comparing a group before and after arthroplasty with a gender-adjusted control group with healthy trapeziometacarpal joints.

Level of evidence: III
