Interest of Bone Scintigraphy in the Search for Scaphotrapezoidal Osteoarthritis

Completed
Conditions
Rhizarthrosis
Prosthesis Failure
Registration Number
NCT06555250
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Brest
Brief Summary

Rhizarthosis can be treated by prothesis of the carpo-metacarpal (CM) joint of the thumb. But, if the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) joint is also affected by arthrosis, treating the CM joint exclusively may result in partial pain relief. Thus, bone scintigraphy could identify early arthrosis of the STT joint when its appearance seems to be normal on planar radiography, suggesting another surgical procedure.
