At the Department of Orthopedic and Hand Surgery, Örebro University Hospital (ÖUH) in Sweden, the Kirschner-wire technique was standard until 2020, when the headless compression screw technique was introduced as a complement. There is no consensus on which method is superior. The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes and complications associated with distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint and thumb interphalangeal (IP) joint arthrodesis, and to see whether these correlated with patient-dependent and treatment-related factors. Methods In a retrospective cohort study, we evaluated a total of 149 consecutive arthrodeses (118 DIP joint and 31 thumb IP joint) performed between 2012 and 2022. The primary outcome was risk factors for complications after arthrodesis. Results Osteoarthritis was the most common indication (56%) for arthrodesis. The majority of the patients were females (74%), and the median age was 62 (range 18–86). The complication frequency was 35%, with infection being the most common (25%).
