简要总结
This is a study comparing the current standard of care surgical treatment to a newer surgical procedure involving the implantation of osteochondral allograft at the base of the thumb. Patients will be followed at 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year post-operatively.
详细描述
Basal joint arthritis of the thumb is a common condition associated with considerable morbidity. Many non-operative and operative treatments have been described, but few multicenter prospective evidence based trials exist comparing standard treatments. This continuing search for consensus and improvement of best clinical practice has been reviewed in a thorough meta-analysis of operative treatments for basal joint arthritis. Operative treatments range from osteotomy, partial or complete trapeziectomy with or without reconstruction of the ligaments, tendon interposition to arthrodesis, however the functional outcome varies. Allograft has been previously described in joint replacement / prosthetic implantation surgery in other areas of the body, however not in the thumb. The purpose of this study is to investigate using osteochondral allograft in the surgical intervention phase of treatment for patients with basal joint arthritis.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ligament Reconstruction Tendon Interposition (LRTI)
Selected randomly, 100 patients will receive this treatment. During the LRTI (standard of care procedure), the arthritic bone that the thumb rests on (the trapezium) is removed. A small cut is made in the forearm to release a tendon, which is moved to the base of the thumb to fill in the area from which the trapezium bone was removed. A small suture anchor is then placed into a thumb bone which holds everything together.
干预措施: Ligament Reconstruction Tendon Interposition (Procedure)
Osteochondral Allograft
Selected randomly,100 patients will receive this treatment. In this procedure, the arthritic bone that the thumb rests on (the trapezium) is removed and replaced with femoral trochlear osteochondral allograft that is designed to be similar in morphology to the human trapezium articular surface, known as the 'Cartibend©' .
干预措施: Osteochondral Allograft (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Score on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire
时间窗: Up to 1 year post-operatively
The DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) is a 30-item questionnaire that includes 21 physical function items, 6 symptom items, and 3 social/role function items used to evaluate a patient's ability to perform upper extremity activities. Higher scores indicate a greater level of disability and severity, whereas, lower scores indicate a lower level of disability. The score on both test ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability).
次要结局
- Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS)(Up to 1 year post-operatively)
- Score on the Thumb Disability Exam (TDX)(Up to 1 year post-operatively)
