Dual mobility trapeziometacarpal prosthesis: a prospective study of 107 cases with a follow-up of more than 3 years

Abstract

We report the results of a prospective study using a dual mobility trapeziometacarpal prosthesis (Touch®) in 107 patients with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. One-hundred and two patients (95%) were very satisfied or satisfied with the functional outcomes and the mean pain intensity in visual analogue scale decreased from 7.4 to 0.8 (p < 0.001). Thumb opposition (Kapandji score) index increased from an average of 8.0 to 9.4, while the mean QuickDASH score improved from 38 preoperatively to 20 at follow-up (p < 0.01). Key-pinch strength improved from 3.5 kg (range 0.5–9.5) to 5.5 kg (range 3.0–11.5). There was a 4.6% rate of complications, including cup loosening and wear of polyethylene, which required revision, but no cases of prosthetic dislocation were seen. Applying the dual mobility principle to trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty may significatively improve the stability of these prostheses. Radiolucent zones around the components of the prostheses are not systematic predictors of future loosening.
