Brief Summary

A project aiming to promote evidence based practice when treating thumb basal joint (CMC I) arthritis. We will aim to: 1) provide the minimal clinical difference of two general outcome instruments, 2) evaluate the association between pre-operative anxiety and/or depression and outcomes following trapeziectomy, 3) evaluate the effect of trapziectomy on carpal cinematics, 4) determine the cost-utility-ratio of trapeziectomy

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire12 months

A hand-specific outcomes instrument that contains six distinct scales: (1) overall hand function, (2) activities of daily living, (3) pain, (4) work performance, (5) aesthetics, and (6) patient satisfaction with hand function.

Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation12 months

The PRWE comprises 15 questions to measure wrist pain and disability in daily activities. In PRWE patients rate wrist pain and disability from 0 to 10 and it consists two subscales: Pain and Function (0=best possible outcome, 10=worst possible outcome)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain Catastrophizing Scale12 months

A pain catastrophizing scale comprising of three subscales: (1) Helplessness, (2) Rumination, and (3) Magnification

Pain (Visual Analogue Scale)12 months

The VAS is derived by health care professional question of pain in scale 0 to 10 (0=no pain, 10=worst possible pain)

Grip strength12 months

Grip strength is measured with a dynamometer in kg as the mean of three measurements. It will be numbered in kg and percentage of the unaffected side

Wrist and hand (thumb) range of motion (ROM)12 months

ROM is measured on both hands with a handheld goniometer in degrees.

Cost-utility12 months

Quality-adjusted life years/months measured as a change in EQ-5D

Global improvemen12 months

Global rating to treatment effect will be evaluated by question: "How would you rate the function of your hand compared to the situation before the treatment?". The options are in 5-step Likert scale from (-2) Much worse to (+2) Much better

Carpal Kinematics12 months

Evaluated from preoperative and compared to 1-year postoperative 4-dimension cone-beam tomography - the wrists are imaged in 7 different postures to reproduce carpal movement, the pre and postoperative scans will be compared to evalueate the effect of trapeziectomy on carpal kinematics (e.g. scapholunate angle, lunotriquetral angle, metacarpal subsidence)

Beck Depression Inventory12 months

21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression
