Survey of practices in surgical management of trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis in France in 2020.
Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation 2022 October
The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of French surgical practices for treating trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis in 2020. An online survey was sent to 64 French hand surgeons: 32 authors of articles on carpometacarpal osteoarthritis of the thumb and 32 other surgeons randomly selected from the membership of the French Society of Hand Surgery (SFCM). The questions concerned demographic data, surgical practice, operative indications, choices for revision surgery, and eight clinical cases. The response rate was 56.2%. The most popular technique was trapeziometacarpal replacement (63.9%). During the previous 5 years, 31.6% of respondents had changed their practices, 69.2% of whom had adopted total joint replacement. Total trapeziectomy with ligamentoplasty and interposition was the second most frequent method. Most surgeons (77.8%) implemented medical treatment for 6 months to 1 year before resorting to surgery. In the clinical cases, agreement between surgeons was very low, with an overall inter-rater concordance coefficient of 0.182. Except for two cases (a young manual worker and a patient with a flattened trapezium) where no technique was significantly preferred, trapeziometacarpal replacement was chosen by a majority of respondents (p < 0.001). It was the most frequently performed surgical technique in France in 2020. However, there is no real consensus on choice of technique, which reflects the absence of guidelines.
