Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Is there a difference is daily hand function between patients with a total
joint arthroplasty and patients with a trapeziectomy, measured with the Patient
Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE and the Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and
Hand (DASH)?
Secondary outcome
- Is there a difference in daily hand function between patients with a total
joint arthroplasty and patients with a trapeziectomy, measured with the
Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH)?
- Is there a difference in pain between patients with a joint arthroplasty and
a trapeziectomy?
- Is there a difference in grip strength between patients with a joint
arthroplasty and a trapeziectomy?
- Is there a difference in thumb mobility between patients with a joint
arthroplasty and a trapeziectomy?
- Is there a difference in complication rate between patients with a joint
arthroplasty and a trapeziectomy?
- Is there a difference in the number of patients that would choose the same
operation again in the same circumstances between patients with a joint
arthroplasty and a trapeziectomy?
Background summary
Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis is a common cause of pain and loss of hand
function in postmenopauzal women. Many surgical treatments have been described
and recent literature has show that the relatively simple trapeziectomy gives
equal results and less complications, when compared to other techniques such as
ligament reconstructions and interpositions. A relatively new treament
modality, which has been further developed in recent years is the total joint
arthroplasty. Randomized prospective trials and long-term results are lacking,
but prospective cohorts show a faster recovery and good results after one year,
without an increase in complication rate.
Study objective
To determine if total joint arthroplasty leads to better results than
trapeziectomy in the long term, with subjective and objective outcome measures.
Study design
Follow up study of a randomised clinical trial (observational)
Study burden and risks
The x-ray has a mimimal radiation exposure.
The measurments of strength and mobility are not physically demanding and only
take some time to fullfil.
The survey will be filled out by the researcher at the time of the
consultation, so that everything will be finished when the patients leave the
hospital.
Alltogether this mimimizes the burdon of the patient.
