ABSTRACT
We report a prospective consecutive series of CarpoFit® (Implantcast, Buxtehude, Germany) trapeziometacarpal prostheses used between 2006 and 2014 for 292 patients with stage I-III trapeziometacarpal arthritis who remained symptomatic after conservative treatment. Patients were assessed at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively for thumb movement, pinch strength and by validated patient-derived outcome scores and radiographs. Follow-up at 5 and 10 years was by outcome scores alone. Complications and revisions were recorded. Of the patients, 91% were either satisfied or very satisfied with their treatment at 10 years. Pain relief and functional outcomes were significantly improved within 3 months. Results were sustained during the entire observation period. The implant survival was 95% after 10 years. Prosthetic arthroplasty is a reliable treatment option for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis and the CarpoFit® prosthesis has excellent long-term results for patient satisfaction, functional scores and implant survivorship.Level of evidence III.
