Patients were evaluated preoperatively and annually after surgery for range of motion, grip strength, key pinch, quick-DASH, pain, and satisfaction. Radiographs were evaluated for implant position, signs of dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI), capitolunate (CL) angle, scapholunate (SL) distance, and presence of osteophytes.\nResults: Twenty-six patients (29 implants) were included. Seven implants were revised during the follow up, mainly due to pain: three implants were removed, four patients received a new STPI of a different size, leaving 22 implants in 20 patients available for follow up, 9 males and 11 females. Median age was 61.7 years (51\u201378 years). Median follow-up time was 68 months (37\u2013105 months). Comparing preoperative status to the last follow-up, wrist extension and deviation, thumb abduction, and grip strength did not change. Key Pinch, quick DASH, pain, and patient satisfaction improved significantly at last follow-up. Radiographic signs of DISI were seen in six cases preoperatively and in 12 cases at last follow-up.\nConlusion: At a minimum of three years follow-up, the STPI used for STT-arthritis improve pain, quick-DASH result, and patient satisfaction significantly. ROM and grip strength did not change compared to preoperative values. Radiographic signs of carpal instability were common at the follow-up and the revision rate was high.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/jphs.v59.34985","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]],"date-time":"2024-04-03T04:23:25Z","timestamp":1712118205000},"page":"40-45","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Retrospective analysis of scaphoid trapezium pyrocarbon implant intervention in STT arthritis: a 3-year follow-up study"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5792-1458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Zander","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allan","family":"Ibsen-S\u00f6rensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Nilsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Bj\u00f6rkman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"54624","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wollstein R, Clavijo J, Gilula LA.
