Abstrakt: Objectives: De Quervain's tendinitis is frequently observed after placement of a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between De Quervain's tendinitis, osteoarthritis of the thumb and placement of a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis. The second aim was a critical analysis of the literature in search of a cause for this postoperative event after arthroplasty or trapeziectomy.
Methods: We reviewed a series of 331 trapeziometacarpal prostheses.
Results: There were no differences in thumb column length, gender, type of neck (straight or angled), or surgical approach between patients who developed De Quervain's tendinitis and those who did not. However, the frequency of De Quervain's tendinitis was much higher after arthroplasty than trapeziectomy.
Conclusions: We believe that the preoperative frequency of De Quervain's tendinitis in trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis is underestimated, being part of a more general pain symptomatology. More precise and specific examination is needed for a better preoperative diagnosis. Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis should be considered within a more global framework of peri-trapeziometacarpal pathology, including the trapeziometacarpal and triscaphoid levels, the articular ligaments and the abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis longus, and flexor carpi radialis tendons.
