The purpose of this study is to evaluate the basis for three widely held fundamental tenets about surgical intervention for thumb basal joint arthritis; 1. Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and metacarpal stabilization is associated with superior functional outcomes and strength, 2. Preservation of the arthroplasty space correlates with functional outcomes, pain relief, and restoration of strength after basal joint arthroplasty, and 3. Mitigation of metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) hyperextension optimizes postoperative strength after basal joint arthroplasty, regardless of surgical technique. It is hypothesized that thumb basal joint arthroplasty with metacarpal stabilization, by either ligament reconstruction (I) or suture suspension (II), provides greater improvement in grip and pinch strength, and better hand function, than might be achieved following provision of pain relief alone by simple trapeziectomy (III). Preservation of the arthroplasty space will correlate positively, and MCPJ hyperextension will correlate negatively, with improved thumb function and lateral pinch strength. Primary Aims (within 3 procedure cohorts): 1. Compare pre-operative pinch and grip strength as well as patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for pain in patients before and after lidocaine injection of the trapeziometacarpal joint, prior to thumb basal joint arthroplasty; 2. Compare post-operative pinch and grip strength and PROs for pain and function at 3 and 6 months after thumb basal joint arthroplasty with pre-operative values before and after lidocaine injection; 3. Correlate preservation of dynamic arthroplasty space as measured on a stress radiograph with postoperative improvement in pinch and grip strength, and PROs for pain and function; 4. Correlate dynamic MCP joint position and laxity with change in strength and patient-reported pain and function to define optimal MCPJ position. Secondary Aims (between 3 procedure cohorts): 1. Compare change in pre- and post-operative pinch and grip strength and PROs for pain and function between patients having basal joint arthroplasty with and without specific metacarpal stabilization; 2. Compare preservation of the dynamic arthroplasty space and improvement in strength and patient-reported pain and function between arthroplasty groups; and 3. Compare changes in pinch and grip strength and PROs for pain and function with dynamic MCPJ position between arthroplasty groups. 4. Compare postoperative neuritis and complications between surgical groups.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in pre-operative pinch and grip strength as measured by kilograms of pressure within and between procedure cohorts before and after lidocaine injection of the trapeziometacarpal joint. | Power grip using a Jamar (Jackson, MO) dynamometer, followed by lateral (key) and pulp-to-pulp pinch, will be recorded (in kilograms) with a pinch meter, taking the greater strength of three successive attempts at each position with a 15 second rest between each attempt. The dynamic position of the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint will be recorded with a small goniometer during lateral pinch testing. | Preoperative baseline, both before and after basal joint lidocaine injection, and then 3 months and 6 months after surgery | |
Primary | Change in Pain, pre- to post-operatively, as measured by a standard visual analogue score (VAS) diagram to grade perceived pain within and between procedure cohorts. | The standard VAS diagram is a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 indicates No Pain (smiling face), and 10 indicates Worst possible, unbearable, excruciating pain (crying face). | Preoperative baseline, both before and after basal joint lidocaine injection, and then 3 months and 6 months after surgery | |
Primary | Change in Patient-Reported Function as measured by the short form Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire, within and between procedure cohorts. | The short form QuickDASH questionnaire will be completed as a reflection of patient-reported specific upper extremity function. Absolute improvement in QuickDASH score will be compared within groups longitudinally and between groups at each time point. QuickDASH scores range from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). | Baseline, 3 months and 6 months after surgery | |
Primary | Change in Quality of Life as measured by the PROMIS-10 Global Health questionnaire, within and between procedure cohorts. | The PROMIS-10 Global Health measures five domains: physical function, fatigue, pain, emotional distress, and social health. Items are rated on a five-point scale. A higher score indicates better health. | Baseline, 3 months and 6 months after surgery | |
Secondary | Postoperative complications between procedure cohorts | Postoperative complications specifically related to superficial sensory neuritis or complex regional pain syndrome and wound related infection, between arthroplasty groups. | 3 months and 6 months post surgery | |
Secondary | Change in absolute dynamic arthroplasty space height as measured by on a stress radiograph within and between procedure and cohorts | The static and dynamic arthroplasty space will be comparatively assessed on immediate postop and sequential radiographs taken upon removal of plaster immobilization and K-wire fixation at 1 month, and at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Three and six month radiographs will be taken in Roberts anteroposterior (AP) and true lateral projections during lateral key pinch. The absolute arthroplasty space height, and its change over time following operation and plaster removal, will be correlated with improvement in strength. | Baseline, immediately after surgery, 1 month after surgery, 3 months and 6 months after surgery | |
Secondary | Change in dynamic metacarpophalangeal joint position (MCPJ) and laxity as measured by hand goniometer within and between procedure cohorts | Dynamic position of the MCPJ will be measured with a hand goniometer during lateral pinch testing | Preoperative baseline, both before and after basal joint lidocaine injection, and then 3 months and 6 months after surgery |
