BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The aim of this prospective randomised study was to compare Sirotakova's and Lundborg's methods of resection-suspension arthroplasty using the abductor pollicis longus tendon in the surgical treatment of osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint . PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2009 and 2012, 38 patients (29 female, 9 male) with symptomatic trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (34% stage II, 58% stage III and 8% stage IV according to the Eaton-Littler classification ) were randomly allocated to one of the surgical methods (mean age 62.7 years, range 43-85 ). Preoperatively, the following data were collected: pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS; at rest : Lundborg 4.4±1.7; Sirotakova 4.6±2.1), strength (key pinch force Lundborg 8.1 kPa±6.6; Sirotakova 10.4 kPa±10.8), range of motion in the trapeziometacarpal joint (Lundborg 61.64±26.4; Sirotakova 46.67±25.6), Kapandji index (Lundborg 9.42±1.4; Sirotakova 9.33±1.5), distance between the base of the first metacarpal bone and the scaphoid bone as measured by standardised x-ray images (Lundborg 12 mm±1.5; Sirotakova 11.4 mm±3), DASH questionnaire (Lundborg 40.4±13.9 ; Sirotakova 49.9±23.5). A significant difference between the 2 groups was not found. Patients were examined 3 and 9 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Both resection-suspension arthroplasty procedures led to a statistically significant postoperative reduction of pain , a significant improvement in radial and palmar abduction , a significant gain in quality of life and significant asymptomatic proximalisation of the first metacarpal bone . There was no significant difference in postoperative strength . CONCLUSION: Both methods lead to reliable and satisfying results. Given our findings we cannot generally recommend one method over the other. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
