The Biomechanical Consequences of Trapeziectomy and Partial Trapezoidectomy in the Treatment of Thumb Carpometacarpal and Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid Arthritis
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine, using a biomechanical cadaveric model, whether, in the treatment of thumb carpometacarpal and scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthritis, partial trapezoid resection following trapeziectomy causes carpal, specifically lunocapitate and scapholunate, instability.
METHODS: Eight fresh-frozen mid-forearm cadaver specimens with type I lunates and devoid of basilar thumb arthritis were used in the study. Specimens were mounted onto a …
