  • Title: [Trapeziectomy in rhizarthrosis].
    Author: Van Innis F, Thys R, Lebrun A, Hollaert G, Detournay M.
    Journal: Ann Chir Main; 1983; 2(4):365-7. PubMed ID: 9382654.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to determine the place of trapeziectomy among the various surgical treatments of osteoarthritis of the trapezio-metacarpal joint. We have had 25 cases with seemingly satisfactory results. Loss of strength, which is given as a frequent objection to this method, has not generally been found in our series. Careful repair of the capsule and prolonged postoperative immobilization appear all-important to us and are a guaranty for good postoperative stability.
