Introduction

Why is thumb CMC arthritis such a problem?
Anatomy review
Treatment – consensus and lack of consensus
Challenges in treatment and prevention

How does this joint wear out?

Normal

Osteoarthritic

Anatomy – its not simple

Shape
Load
Movement

2

2/11/2014

Morphology
Trapezium

The joint surfaces are eccentric.

Eccentric shape
Out of plane from fingers
Both permit rotation and
opposition

Ligament stability

Stability is part structure and part proprioception.
Ligaments may only contribute part of stability.

Load

Articular and trabecular wear patterns infer
biomechanical loading.
Abnormal loading may contribute to patterns of
arthritis.

Treatment Dilemmas

CMC end-stage disease
Treatment stuck in the 1950s

Lessons to be learned from the big joints!

http://www.orthobullets.com/upload/5034/images/xray %20ap%20hip%2 0arthro desis.jpg

Can we do better than this?

8

2/11/2014

The role of the MP joint

Challenges

Where else can we find clues?

As in other joints, what is
the role of:
Instability - imbalance
Impingement
Proprioception

9

2/11/2014

Summary - Ultimate goal

•

Apply what we know about
anatomy and disease

•

Decipher the paradox of
mobility and stability

•

Use this to predict, prevent,
and treat thumb arthritis

Thumb CMC Arthroplasty

Suture Suspension
Technique
Arnold-Peter C. Weiss, M.D.
R. Scot Sellers Scholar of Hand Surgery
Professor of Orthopaedics

Disclosure
None

Why should I care?
Most studies show equal outcomes
Gerwin, Kriegs-Au, Davis
Third most common joint requiring surgery
Most common reconstructive hand surgery
BUT…
Surgical times can differ
Eliminating K-wire
Cost factors

1

2/11/2014

Surgical Factors to Consider
• Time of procedure: Less is better

Surgical Factors to Consider
• Eliminating K-wire: Less discomfort post-op

• Possibility of collapse: Longer term issue
• Cost: Lower is better
• Tendon: Do we really need it?

Study Question
• Standard complete trapeziectomy
• Suspend by a “weave” of #2 Fiberwire between the
APL and FCR at their distal most insertions

• No tendon graft
• Casted for 4 weeks
• Standard post-op hand therapy protocol

2

2/11/2014

Suture Suspension Technique
(n=65)
• Complete trapeziectomy

Suture Suspension Technique
(n=65)
• #2 Fiberwire through distal APL insertion then
through distal FCR then back through APL and
once more through FCR

Suture Suspension Technique
(n=65)

3

2/11/2014

Suture Suspension Technique
(n=65)

Suture Suspension Technique
(n=65)
• Tie the suture ends and test longitudinal stability

NO – don’t tether the two tendons

4

2/11/2014

Results
• Minimum of 2 year follow-up examination
• Age: 51.3 yrs
• Average OR time = 23 minutes
• No radiographic collapse in any patient
• Pinch & grip strength plateau at 4 months
• Pain: VAS score of 0.2 (0 – 10) at final F/U exam

Discussion
• Clinical results and outcomes equal to other
reported techniques
• Shortened operative time; Inexpensive
• Intrinsic & immediate stability
• A viable alternative to time intensive techniques
• Data is preliminary but promising

Thank You

• Skeletal Dynamics
No financial relationship with Tightrope

Anatomy of 1st CMC Jt

• Biconcave saddle shaped joint

• Little osseous stability
• Semi-constrained, relatively incongruent
• Motion:

• Flex-extension
• Abduction-adduction
• Rotation

1

Forces to Consider
• Forces across TM joint
– Simple pinch
– 12 kg force
– Strong grasp
– 120 kg force
– Important consideration
especially in a young
patient
Cooney WP. JBJS 1977

Ideal surgical procedure for
1st CMC arthritis

• Pain relief
• CMC motion / position
• MP joint (hyperextension)
• Pinch and grip strength
• Minimal complications
• Reproducible
• Long lasting

Treatment: Operative

•
•
•
•

Trapezial resection alone
Trapeziectomy & suspension
Arthrodesis
Implant arthroplasty

• Altering normal anatomy & mechanical
function
• ↓ span of hand & dexterity with fine manipulation
(fusion)

• Prolonged recovery
• What’s the salvage when they fail ?
e.g. young pt, manual labourer

2

Are there minimally
invasive treatment
options?
Can we maintain the trapezium?

Denervation of CMC
Joint

Proposed Advantages

• Pain relief
• Without compromise of ROM & strength
• Minimal rehabilitation
• Doesn’t burn bridges for future tx

• 16 pts (18 thumbs)
• 14/16 pts → satisfied or very satisfied
• NO formal pain assessment/?degree of arthritis
• Complications: 2 pts → painful HT scar
1 pt → hypoaesthesia over dorsum thumb

Thumb Metacarpal
Osteotomy

Ligament Laxity Theory of Thumb
Arthritis
• Volar beak ligament degenerates & detaches
• Abnormal shear stresses across anterior
compartment of joint causes CMC arthritis
- Degeneration of palmar metacarpal cartilage
- Exacerbated by pinching (flexion & adduction of 1 st metacarpal)

• Extension osteotomy of 1st metacarpal

Pelligrini VD Jr. et al

- Palmar contact unloaded & contact pressure moved dorsally
- Indications: Eaton stage 1 disease
Pelligrini VD Jr. et al J Hand Surg,
1991;16A:967-974

Pelligrini VD Jr. et al J Hand Surg, 1996;21A:1623

• Prospective study (12 pts, Eaton stage 1)
• Average f/up 2.1 yrs
• 300 metacarpal extension osteotomy

• Results
• Union at 7 wks
• 11/12 pts satisfied
• ↑ grip & pinch strength
• All pts returned to work

• 8 pts (3 Eaton stage 1, 3 Eaton stage 2 & 2 Eaton stage 3)
• Average f/up 9 yrs
• Results
• ↑ grip strength (108% of contralateral side)
• ↑ appositional pinch strength (129%)
• ↑ oppositional pinch strength (103%)
• 6/8 pts → excellent functional outcomes
• Eaton stage preserved 5/8 pts

Arthroscopic Treatment

6

Arthroscopy for CMC OA

• Technique - Berger, JHS, 1997

• Portals (locate with 18 g needle +/- fluoro)
• 1R (radial to APL at CMC jt)
• 1U (ulnar to EPB at CMC jt)
• Dangers

• SBRN, radial artery

• Equipment
•
•
•
•

Thumb in txn (5-10lbs)
Insufflate jt (2mls 1U portal)
1.9mm short barrel scope
2mm shaver through 1R to debride synovitis
(use 2.9mm burr once space ↑ within a 3.5mm sheath to prevent
clogging during trapeziectomy)

• Replace 1R with thenar portal
• Arthroscope in 1U portal
• Thenar portal 900 to 1U portal
• Results (thenar portal)
• Good working portal
• ↓ sword fighting
• Didn’t violate the dAOL
• Further away from sensory nerves than 1R
• 23mm away from recurrent motor branch median nerve

Advantages of CMC Arthroscopy

Menon 1996

• ↓ invasion compared to open approach
• ↓ postop pain & stiffness
• Quicker rehabilitation
• Doesn’t burn any bridges

7

• Stage 1
• Synovitis & ligamentous laxity
• Synovectomy +/- thermal shrinkage

• Stage 2
• Cartilage loss on ½ trapezium
• Metacarpal extension osteotomy
• Arthroscopic tx

• Stage 3
• Diffuse cartilage loss

• Arthroscopic hemitrapeziectomy

What Does The Literature Show
As To Efficacy of Tx !!!

• 23 pts (Eaton stage 1 & 2)
• Arthroscopic synovectomy & debridement & splint 1wk
• Control grp: 21 pts non op tx
• Evaluated 1 yr later

• Results
• 83% surgical pts → good to exc results
• Surgical pts:
• ↓ pain, ↑ DASH & pinch strength

• Complications

• Wound infection (1)
• DSRN irritation (1R)

8

• 23 pts (Eaton stage 3)
• Hemitrapeziectomy (3-4mm)
• CMC jt pinned (3-4 wks)
• >4 year follow up

• Results
• 19/23 pts pleased with results
• ↑ DASH & pinch & grip strength
• Proximal migration ~ 3mm
• Complications
• 1 Wound infection
• 1 DSRN irritation (1R)
• 1 pt → LRTI

• 14 pts (Eaton 2 & 3)
• Hemitrapeziectomy & interposition (PL, FCR)
• F/up: 11 months (3.3-17.3)

• Results
• VAS ↓8.6→ 1.8 (p<0.005)
• 90% restoration grip & pinch strength
• 10/11 pts → “much better”
• Complications
• 1 CRPS
• ? 1Graft extrusion

Tightrope

Suspension Arthroplasty

9

• Suture button compared with k wire fixation for
maintenance of post-trapeziectomy space

Yao et al. 2010

• Cadaveric study
• Maintenance of suspension (lateral, cyclic, dynamic pinch)

• Suture button suspensionplasty after
arthroscopic hemitrapeziectomy for thumb CMC
arthritis Cox et al. 2010
• 16 pts (Eaton II-III)
• ROM & splint at 2 weeks
• At 1 yr → “promising results”

Suture Button Suspension
Arthroplasty for Thumb CMC Arthritis
Yao & Song 2012

• 21 pts (f/up >24 M)
– Tightrope & 2.7mm drill (8 arthro hemi & 13 open trapeziectomies)
– ROM & splint at 10 days post op

• Results
–
–
–
–
–

All pts → full ROM
Quick DASH: 10 +/- 9
Grip & pinch strength: 86% & 89% contralateral side
Trapezial height → 74% of contralateral side
1 CRPS & 1 frx 2nd metacarpal

Had experience with mini
Tightrope in revision cases

• 55F 6 months post op (tx elsewhere)

10

ECRL suspension, tightrope and
graft jacket interposition

• 18 months post op

My Initial Thoughts Tightrope:
- Skeptical
- Concerns of breakage
BUT gives immediate stability

If doing a trapeziectomy
and suspensionplasty:
- Tightrope
- Imbricate FCR to APL

11

58F CMC & STT jt involvement

• Work in plane between APL & EPB &
isolate and protect radial artery

12

• Remove trapezium with care not to injure
underlying FCR tendon!!!

• Inspect ST joint & debride if arthritic

13

• ST joint debrided

• Dorsal approach base of 2nd metacarpal

• Ensure debridement of osteophytes at base of 1st & 2nd
metacarpal bases to ↓ impingement

• Free hand or with guide place k wire from base of 1st to 2nd

metacarpal…..ensure you are through 4 cortices!!!!!
• Extend 1st metacarpal base and palmar abduct when passing wire

14

• Can place 1 or 2 wires!!!

• Maintains space between 1-2 metacarpal bases & prevents
over tightening

• Pull endobutton down onto 1st metacarpal and tie down 2nd
button. Repeat steps for 2nd tightrope if desired

• Close periosteal flap over 2nd metacarpal to ↓ symptomatic
hardware

15

• Imbricate FCR to APL tendon
• Extends base 1st metacarpal
• Belt & braces

Post Op Protocol

• 2 weeks thumb spica post op splint
• If comfortable, start AROM at 2 weeks
(protect with thumb spica splint for 24 weeks)

• Grip strengthening at 6 weeks

• Apposition pinching at 12 weeks

Mayo Experience
Kakar and Parry 2014

• 11 pts (1M,10F)
• 60yrs (43-73)
• 2 mini tightropes & FCR to APL imbrication
• Follow up 18 months (range:13-26 months)

16

Mayo Experience
Kakar and Parry 2013

• Post operative outcome questionnaires:
• DASH
19
• MHQ
75
• PRWE
21
• Radiographs:
• Maintenance of trapezial space
• Complications:
• 1 CRPS
• 3 DSRN irritation (resolved)

Summary

• Minimally invasive procedures have a
role in management of thumb CMC OA
• Young pts
• Manual labourers

• Maintain the length of thumb (power)
• Denervation procedures

• Minimal morbidity without burning bridges

17

• Arthroscopy
• Similar results to open tx
• No PRCT compared to open tx
• Eaton 1:
• Debridement & synovectomy
• Metacarpal extension osteotomy

• Eaton 2-3:
• Hemitrapeziectomy +/- interposition +/tightrope

• Eaton 4:
• Trapeziectomy +/- tightrope




Anatomy


Saddle-shaped joint




Stabilized by ligaments to
provide mobility and stability

Ligaments have been studied
for strength
Best recent data indicates
dorsoradial ligament (DRL)
major stabilizer Ladd, Hagert JBJS-A, 2012
 As opposed to thinner AOL


JAAOS, 2010

Sex Difference in Bony/
Ligamentous Anatomy








Study in 18 female and 13 male cadavers
 Average age 71.4 years
Used micro-calipers to measure
 Metacarpal width
 Trapezial width
 Ligament thickness
Men had greater width of metacarpal and trapezium (mean
18.83 mm vs. 16.65 mm)
Men had thicker DRL, sAOL


Gerhardt, Baldini, Wolf, unpublished data

2/11/2014

Biomechanical Differences




Bettinger et al – studied material properties of TM
stabilizing ligaments in 10 male and 10 female cadavers
 Ultimate load and stress of AOL significantly higher
in men
 Ultimate strain of DT-II MC ligament greater in
women
 Bettinger et al, J Hand Surg Am, 1994
Role of laxity
 Women have greater overall laxity than males
 Larsen et al, Arthr Rheum, 1987
 Possible abnormal loading playing a greater role in
women

Men and TM Subluxation


Hunter et al – Framingham study
Osteoarth Cartilage, 2005



203 men and 431 women





Hand radiographs in 1967 and 1993
Evaluated for TM subluxation

Noted that baseline TM
subluxation correlated with
development of later TM OA in
men only

Occupation









No studies evaluating occupation directly between sexes
Framingham study – evaluated grip strength and associated
development of hand OA
Chaisson et al, Arthr Rheum, 1999
453 eligible subjects over 30 years
Highest maximal grip strength in men associated with increased
risk of PIP, MCP, and thumb CMC OA
Women’s grip showed correlation with MCP OA only

4

2/11/2014

Hormones


Sex hormones attractive target
Estrogen
Progesterone
 Testosterone
 Relaxin
Primary evidence in animal studies of OA
Relaxin levels higher in post-menopausal women than
age matched men
Wolf et al, J Hand Surg Am, 2013
Further studies ongoing








Genetics


Multiple studies have shown genetic
component in hand OA in general




Ishimori et al showed osteophyte distribution to
be genetically linked
Arthr Res Ther, 2010

Mutations in matrilin-3 (ECM protein gene)
linked to more severe form of TM OA
 Eliasson

et al, Scand J Rheumatol, 2006

Conclusions


Men with TM OA



Present later than women
Possibly different mechanism


?more direct joint load vs. ligament attenuation



Anatomic differences in men and women



Interaction between anatomy, genetics, and
environment may be different in men
