We compared the effects of capsule resection versus capsule suturing in patients treated with a dual-mobility trapeziometacarpal joint prosthesis. We included 131 patients with capsular resection and 57 patients with repair. The mean scores for pain and the brief Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire were similar between the groups preoperatively and at 6 weeks and 1 year postoperatively. Mean key pinch strength was also similar in both groups before surgery and at 1 year, but higher in the capsular resection than in the suture group at 6 weeks. The incidence of complications reported throughout the 1-year postoperative period was not significantly different between the groups. One implant in the capsular resection group was revised for reasons most likely unrelated to capsule management. We conclude that the capsule can be safely resected during trapeziometacarpal joint implant arthroplasty. Level of evidence: III [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
