Surgical management of basal Joint arthritis of the thumb. Part II. Ligament reconstruction with tendon interposition arthroplast
TL;DR: Palmar oblique ligament reconstruction combined with tendon interposition (LRTI) arthroplasty with part of the flexor carpi radialis tendon was developed for advanced osteoarthritis of the thumb basal joint as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Staging as a rationale for treatment.
TL;DR: By careful radiographic evaluation of the trapezial articulations, particularly in the lateral projection, a reasonable set of radiographic guidelines for staging of the degenerative process can be provided.

Ligament reconstruction for the painful thumb carpometacarpal joint: A long-term assessment
TL;DR: It is suggested that ligament reconstruction that is now recommended only for stage I or stage II disease will restore stability, reduce pain, and possibly even retard joint degeneration in a large proportion of patients with painful instability of the thumb CMC joint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroplasty of the basal joint of the thumb. Long-term follow-up after ligament reconstruction with tendon interposition.
TL;DR: The ligament reconstruction-tendon interposition arthroplasty provided a stable and functional reconstruction of the thumb, resulting in excellent relief of pain and a significant increase in strength for as long as eleven years after the procedure.
Reference EntryDOI
Surgery for thumb (trapeziometacarpal joint) osteoarthritis
TL;DR: In this paper, an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2005 is presented, where surgeons are used to treat persistent pain and dysfunction at the base of the thumb when conservative management such as splinting, or medical management, such as oral analgesics, is no longer adequate in reducing disability and pain.
