| Popis: | The purpose of this update is to report on a variety of topics related to trapezium implants that have been investigated during the past three years. The keyword trapezium implant was utilized to query the PubMed database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. From the resulting list, papers published from the beginning of January 2012 through the beginning of April 2015 were reviewed. The twenty-three studies identified are reviewed here and referenced at the end of the review. Based on level of evidence criteria for therapeutic studies as adopted by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the most frequent level of evidence for reviewed clinical studies was Level IV (13/19 studies), followed by Level III (4/19), and Levels II (1/19) and I (1/19). |
