Ligament Reconstruction Weilby vs Simple Trapeziectomy

Denmark60 participantsStarted 2017-10-01

Plain-language summary

There is currently no consensus on the best surgical approach for carpometacarpal osteoarthritis treatment. Simple trapeziectomy (TI) or trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction tendon interposition (LRTI) are both accepted procedures but evidence is lacking. We want to conduct a high quality prospective randomized trial in which preoperative and postoperative objective and subjective outcome measures of both procedures will be compared. In this trial, investigators compare the Weilby procedure (LRTI) to simple trapeziectomy (TI) with shame incisions in patients with severe trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Investigators hypothesize that TI will be equal to LRTI in terms of both subjective and objective outcome measures
