Six patients (2 male, 4 female, mean age of 62 years old) underwent trapeziectomy and Weilby suspensionplasty procedure. Seven patients (4 male, 3 female, mean age 63 years old) underwent implant CMCJ arthroplasty using the TOUCH<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> prosthesis. Data collected include demographics, severity of arthritis on plain radiographs of the thumb basilar joint, length of follow-up, pre- and postoperative pain levels, Kapandji thumb opposition score, grip and pinch strength and the time taken to return to work. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: Patients in the trapeziectomy and Weilby suspensionplasty group had a mean follow-up of 4.5 months, while those in the TOUCH<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> implant arthroplasty group had a mean follow-up of 14 months. TOUCH<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> implant arthroplasty patients showed significantly higher grip strengths at 3 months post-surgery and a shorter return to work. There were no differences in pinch strength at 3 months, pinch or grip strength at 6 months or pain scores. Complications included prolonged scar hypersensitivity in two patients who underwent the Weilby suspensionplasty and a dislocated TOUCH<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> implant cup in one patient. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: Our study suggests that in the short term, CMCJ implant arthroplasty with the TOUCH<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> prosthesis produces results comparable to trapeziectomy and Weilby suspensionplasty. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Level of Evidence: Level III (Therapeutic) <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s2424835524500401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,29]],"date-time":"2024-08-29T07:07:42Z","timestamp":1724915262000},"page":"429-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparative Study of Trapeziectomy with Weilby Suspensionplasty versus Implant Arthroplasty for Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint Arthritis in an Asian Population"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Tuan Hao","family":"TAN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui Ying Gavrielle","family":"KANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20080301-07"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.22250"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00238-019-01528-8"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934221086220"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1731818"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193414563243"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193420917582"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1558944718797341"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/15589447231185584"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S2424835521500144"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PR9.0000000000000672"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0753-9053(86)80053-9"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193416641590"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB014","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681_88_90171-4"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsb.2006.05.019"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2255-4971(15)30181-6"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934211024500"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S021881041350041X"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2009.06.019"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10184090"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB021","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934231156280"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934231188407"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB023","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hansur.2021.08.005"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB024","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2011.09.007"},{"key":"S2424835524500401BIB025","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10184090"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume)"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1142\/S2424835524500401","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T03:40:33Z","timestamp":1728272433000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/10.1142\/S2424835524500401"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"references-count":25,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1142\/S2424835524500401"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1142\/s2424835524500401","relation":{},"ISSN":["2424-8355","2424-8363"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2424-8355","type":"print"},{"value":"2424-8363","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]}}}
