Overview
Brief Summary
Rationale: The trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is one of the most common areas in the hand and wrist to develop osteoarthritis (OA). Currently, the two most widely used procedures are the trapeziectomy and the TMC-joint arthroplasty, both with their own pros and cons. No studies have demonstrated superiority of TMC-joint arthroplasty over gold-standard trapeziectomy. And no clinical studies show short-term recovery and patient experience after trapeziectomy or TMC-joint arthroplasty.
Objective: To gather insight in short-term recovery and patient experience after a trapeziectomy or TMC prosthesis regarding pain, pain medication, function and quality of life.
Study design: A prospective observational cohort diary study.
Study population: In total 200 subjects with TMC-joint osteoarthritis will participate: 100 subjects will have trapeziectomy and 100 subjects will have TMC-joint arthroplasty
Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameters are the pain, function and quality of life during the first 8 weeks after surgery.
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Subjects will have no direct benefit from participation in this study. Subjects will only complete a diary and questionnaires for this study. Therefore, we expect no risks from participation. The burden for subjects consists of approximately five minutes daily for the diary in the first eight weeks after surgery.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Pain will be measured each day in a diary for the first 8 weeks after surgery with the Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS), which is a scale ranging from zero to ten on which patients can score their pain. It is a widely used instrument in varying populations due to its ease of administration and clinical relevance to the subject.
Function
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Function will be measured each week in a diary for the first 8 weeks after surgery with the The Patient-Related Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE), which is a 15-item questionnaire concerning pain and function. Subjects are able to rate their pain and disabilities from zero to ten.
Quality of life (QoL)
Time Frame: 8 weeks
QoL will be measured twice a week in a diary for the first 8 weeks after surgery with the EQ-5D, which is a general health-related quality-of-life questionnaire and consists of five questions regarding mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression and one visual analog scale (VAS) to document the perceived quality of life. It is also used to assess quality of life adjusted life years (QALY).
