Partial Trapeziectomy with Local Capsular Interposition vs. Total Trapeziectomy: A Cadaveric Biomechanical Study Deana Mercer, Christina Salas, Moheb Moneim Proceedings of the 1st ITOW Newport, RI

Disclosure None
3
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis (OA)
Affects 25% of people over 45 y/o; 6:1 F predominance Leads to pain and functional loss of the hand Most common procedure worldwide is complete trapeziectomy
4
Complications of complete trapeziectomy
Metacarpal collapse abutment against trapezoid, scaphoid Thumb shortening loss of function loss of strength Recurrence of pain MCP Joint hyperextension Is it possible to achieve pain relief with IMPROVED function by maintaining thumb length?
5
Purpose To biomechanically evaluate a proposed treatment of thumb basal joint arthritis with three components Partial trapezium resection Partial metacarpal base resection Local capsular interposition Maintains more length? We took our questions to the lab
6
Methods In a cadaveric hand model utilizing 9 matched pairs, we compared thumb metacarpal to scaphoid distance on x-ray after partial resection of the trapezium and base of the first metacarpal with capsular interposition (PTCI) and after complete resection of the trapezium with capsular interposition (TTCI)
7
Methods K-wires were placed in the first metacarpal and scaphoid as points of measurement reference A calibration marker of known size was placed in the x-ray field
8
Methods Opponens pollicus, Flexor pollicus brevis and Adductor pollicus (3kg) Abductor pollicus longus (2.5 kg) Tendons tagged per Cooney/Chao theoretical analysis JHS Flexor pollicus longus (2.5 kg) Abductor pollicus brevis (1.5 kg)
9
Methods Native joint data collected for all hands
provides a baseline measure of thumb length thumb in a loaded and unloaded position Surgical procedure PTCI vs. TTCI 3 readers independently measured distances from x-ray images (3 readings/load-unload cycle) TTCI PTCI
10
TTCI: unloaded vs. loaded images
11
PTCI: unloaded vs. loaded images
12
Highly Accurate Measurement Tool Developed
Hough Transform Mathematical Model Uses an object of known dimensions in images to covert pixels to mm (0.1mm accuracy)
13
Results: Mean metacarpal to scaphoid distance under applied load
PTCI N=9 TTCI Native Joint /- SD (mm) 25.6 ± 3.3 23.1 ± 3.4 After Procedure /- SD (mm) 21.3 ± 2.7 15.4 ± 2.5 Difference/SD 4.3 ± 3.3 7.8 ± 3.1 % Reduction 17% 34% P-value 0.05 Nice catch that I switched the “difference” numbers
14
Results: Inter-rater reliability
We found no main effect or interaction between reviewers (p=0.98) or between trials (p=0.90). Bland-Altman charts plot the difference between each reader for every data point measured. For instance, in the Reader 1 vs 2 chart above the far left point shows that the measurement taken by reader 1 was only different than the measurement taken by reader 2 by less than 0.2mm. Any data points lying on zero mean that there is no difference. If it lies below zero then reader 2 had a measurement greater than reader 1. It seems that no measurement differences were greater than 1mm attesting to the accuracy of the measurement tool.
15
Conclusion We showed that the thumb shortens less after the PTCI(~4mm) procedure when compared to the TTCI (~8mm) procedure. Thumb shortening after surgery for thumb CMC OA has been correlated with decreased ability to pinch and grip. PTCI is a viable alternative to TTCI as treatment for thumb CMC OA
16
Limitations Cadaveric study Simulated loading of the thumb CMC joint
