The primary working hypothesis of this study is whether wrist arthrodesis leads to an improvement in functional status in both rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Functional status will be measured by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire no earlier than 1 year after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a 12 week digital treatment program for patients with hand osteoarthritis. The treatment consisted of exercises and educational sessions with respect to the disease, its natural course and recommended treatment strategies. Design: An observational longitudinal cohort study. The investigators will include participants who participated in the digital treatment of Joint Academy® for 3 months. Outcomes: Investigators will analyze pain with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 0-10 (best to worst), function with the Functional Index for Hand OsteoArthritis (FIHOA) and HRQL with EQ-5D-5L at baseline and at 3 months. Main outcome will be change in pain. The investigators will also analyze minimally clinical important changes (improved or not) and mean changes in EQ-5D-5L index score, pain and function.
This study plans to learn more about the effect of adding tissue graft for wrist osteoarthritis reconstruction procedures. Previous studies have shown better allograft stability, and no documented foreign body reaction than with silicone and other synthetic materials.
This is a prospective, multi-location safety and effectiveness study, and data registry of autologous adult ADRCs generated by the Transpose® RT System in subjects with OA in the shoulder, wrist, knee, hip, or ankle.
Study purpose is to compare the outcome after proximal row carpectomy (PRC) vs four-corner fusion (FCA) for SLAC/SNAC II-III type osteoarthritis (OA) in a double-blinded randomized controlled study setting. Patients with radiologically and clinically confirmed OA are randomized (1:1 computer generated sequence with random block size) to two parallel groups and will undergo either PRC or FCA. The study will be patient and assessor blinded. Baseline data is collected preoperatively and is followed by a follow-up visits at 2 and 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months, and 5, 10 years after the intervention. Unveiling of the allocation is at 12 months post-intervention.
The scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) joint is a dome shaped joint in the radial wrist that is important in transfer of load from the thumb and radial hand to the scaphoid and the radioscaphoid and scaphocapitate joints. Arthritis in this joint is the second most common degenerative arthritis in the wrist, reported in 15% of wrist radiographs. The true incidence of arthritis in the STT joint however is unknown though we assume that most cases of arthritis are not clinically significant. Furthermore, the clinical and biomechanical significance of arthritis in this joint is unclear. The investigators' clinical impression is that the incidence of STT joint arthritis is inversely related to that of radiocarpal joint arthritis. In an ongoing study, we are examining the relationship between STT joint arthritis and radiocarpal joint arthritis on radiographs. We suggest that STT joint arthritis alters the biomechanics of the wrist by limiting movement of the scaphoid within the STT joint thereby protecting the wrist from radiocarpal arthritis by limiting instability of the scaphoid. The specific aims of this pilot study are to evaluate the movement of the arthritic scaphoid within the STT joint using a computer-generated model based on CT scan of the wrist and to compare this model with the already established model of the normal STT joint. The investigators' hypothesis is that there is significantly less motion in the arthritic STT joint.
There are two types of interventions to treat a post-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis: the proximal row carpectomy and the four corner fusion. They are used to reduce pain and to maintain the mobility. In previous studies are shown that the proximal row carpectomy shows a better mobility of the wrist postoperatively, whereas the four corner fusion has lower progression of radiocarpale osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical, radiological and subjective outcomes after the treatment with a proximal row carpectomy or a four corner fusion.
