All surgeries were performed by the same experienced hand surgeon using a standardised open technique. Pre- and postoperative assessments included Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QDASH), visual analogue scale (VAS; rest and effort), Kapandji score, grip and pinch strength, thumb range of motion (ROM), patient satisfaction and radiographic evaluation for metacarpal subsidence. Complications and reoperations were recorded and compared.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Results: Both groups demonstrated significant clinical improvement, with no statistically significant differences in functional scores, ROM, strength, pain or satisfaction. Implant-related complications differed notably: four Mini TightRope\n                    <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                    patients (9.8%) required implant removal due to discomfort, and one experienced a transient sensory neurapraxia, yielding a total complication rate of 12.2%. In the Microlink\u2122 group, only one patient (2.8%) experienced a similar neurapraxia, and no implant removals or reoperations were needed. No subsidence was observed in either group.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Conclusions: Both implants were clinically effective, but the Microlink\u2122 device was associated with a lower complication rate and no removals. These findings suggest that all-suture implants may offer improved soft-tissue compatibility. This is the first clinical report on Microlink\u2122, and its mid-term results appear comparable to those of the more established Mini TightRope\n                    <jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n                    .
