  • Title: Bilateral osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint treated by bilateral tendon interposition arthroplasty.
    Author: Damen A, van der Lei B, Robinson PH.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1997 Feb; 22(1):96-9. PubMed ID: 9061538.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-four flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon interposition arthroplasties of the trapezium for bilateral trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis were reviewed. Pain was reduced in all cases. Function was improved in all right hands and in 92% of the left hands. FCR tendon interposition arthroplasty for bilateral trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis yields satisfactory long-term results on both sides.
