Median time since trapeziectomy was 5.6\u2009years (range 2.0\u201316.3) and for total joint arthroplasty was 3.6\u2009years (range 0.7\u20139.1). Surgical procedure, general functioning, differences between surgical procedures, and MHOQ were identified as the four themes. Irrespective of the type of surgery, participants reported pain reduction, although the majority continued to experience residual pain and loss of strength when performing heavy or forceful activities. The arthroplasty hand was considered superior regarding strength and fine control. Limitations on the body function level of the hand did not lead to limitations at activity and participation level. No relevant differences in activities and participation were mentioned. Substantial variability was observed in MHOQ total scores. The MHOQ could not capture differences between the two types of surgery for fine motor skills, thumb strength, pain intensity or pain-provoking activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings contribute to deeper insight into patients\u2019 perspectives on hand function outcomes after both trapeziectomy and total joint arthroplasty, complementing existing quantitative evidence beyond clinimetrics and patient reported outcome measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934261418538","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,25]],"date-time":"2026-02-25T06:38:53Z","timestamp":1772001533000},"page":"1030-1037","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Patients\u2019 perspectives of hand function after bilateral trapeziometacarpal surgery: trapeziectomy vs. total joint arthroplasty: a qualitative thematic analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2481-9809","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elske EDJ","family":"Bonhof-Jansen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand Therapy, Isala Hand\u2013Wrist Center Zwolle, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1061-5386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Betty SH","family":"de Jong-Brouwer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand Therapy, Isala Hand\u2013Wrist Center Zwolle, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Hand Therapy, Center for Rehabilitation, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul MN","family":"Werker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Corry K","family":"van der Sluis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","article-title":"Total joint arthroplasty versus trapeziectomy in the treatment of trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis: 5-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial","author":"Bonhof-Jansen EEDJ","unstructured":"Bonhof-Jansen EEDJ, de Jong TR, Brink SM, de Wildt RP, Werker PMN.
