Background

A randomised prospective study has already demonstrated that at 1-year follow-up, palmaris longus interposition or flexor carpi radialis (FCR) ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition do not improve the outcome of trapeziectomy for the treatment of painful osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint. This study consisted of 183 thumbs in 162 women.

Aims

114 of the 183 thumbs have now completed their 5-year follow-up and this study reports their results.
