  1. The Wisconsin Hand Experience2016 CMC Pitfalls and Preferences Greg Watchmaker, MD Zion 2014

  2. Pitfalls

  3. Expectations

  4. Expectations • Relieve pain 93% • Improve strength 93% • Restore basic tasks like opening a jar 93% • Prevent condtion from worsening 95%

  5. Expectations

  6. Prevalence • Radiographic 6:1 female to male prevalence • 40% of women by 75 • Only 28% symptomatic  Armstrong AL, Hunter JB, Davis TR.. J Hand Surg Br. 1994;19:340–341

  7. Growth of Thumb’s Importance Bipedalism and club weilding associated with thumb development

  8. Thumb Strength Age 0-5 Short web space, low muscle strength Age 6 – 12 Increasing muscle strength and thumb length Age >50 Back to being a toddler

  9. Thumb Kinematics -Force increases exponentially from tip to base during pinch activities -120kg force at CMC joint during pinch

  10. CMC- Ligaments 3 – 16 Ligaments Anterior Oblique Ligament? Dorsal Deltoid Ligaments

  11. CMC- Treatment Options • Adaptive techniques • Neoprene/Custom Braces • Warmth • NSAIDs • Cortisone • Surgery

  12. Preferences Adaptive

  13. CMC Preferences Splinting • Neoprene prefabricated • Semi-rigid prefabricated • Custom thermal molded

  14. Audience Preferences - Splinting • Neoprene prefabricated • Semi-rigid prefabricated • Custom thermal molded

  15. Preferences- Splinting Randomized cross-over study Neoprene vs. custom thermal

  16. Pitfalls - Injections Cortisone Culture expanded stem cells Hyaluronic acid Autologous fat

  17. Pitfalls - Injections

  18. Pitfalls - Injections Cortisone vs. Placebo

  19. Surgical Options • Mini TightRope • Hematoma Arthroplasty • Tendon Interposition • Joint or Hemi replacement • Synthentic Spacers • Arthroscopic Arthroplasties • Osteotomies

  20. CMC Arthoplasty– Treatment - Trapezium Excision (1949) • Tendon Interposition (1970) • Ligament Reconstruction (1973) • Ligament Reconstruction and Trapeziectomy (1986) • Trapezium Excision (2007)

  21. Interposition Material • Trapezium resection only (nothing) • Tendon Interposition (FCR, PL, APL) • Orthosphere • Artelon

  22. Trapeziectomy vs. LRTI

  23. Pitfalls - Joint Replacement

  24. Pitfalls - Implants Artelon Fabric 12 of 32 (37%) revised for pain Pyrocarbon Implant (20% at 2 yrs) Silastic Implant Orthosphere 5 of 6 revised for pain

  25. Pitfalls - Snythetic Interposition

  26. Arthroscopic Arthroplasty • 26 patients with 20 month follow-up • Poly-L-lactic acid implant • Pain 6.61 VAS  6.03 • QuickDASH 56  54 • Pinch 3.7kg 2.2kg

  27. Preferences

  28. Preferences

  29. Preferences - Injections

  30. Audience - Immobilization • Cast 4 weeks or more • Cast 2-4 weeks • Removable splint only • No splint

  31. Pinning the Joint • Never Pin • Sometimes Pin • Always Pin

  32. Therapy Visits Post-op • No Therapy • 1-4 visits • 5-8 visits • 9-12 visits • 13-16 visits • 17-20 visits • 21-24 visits • Never stop

  33. Duration of Rehab

  34. The Need for Strength

  35. Pitfalls - Ongoing Pain Incomplete bone resection Low-grade infection LABC and radial sensory nerve injury CRPS Scapho-trapezoidal arthrosis FCR tendinitis Adhesions

  36. CMC Arthroplasty - Outcomes

  37. CMC Arthroplasty - Outcomes

  38. Take Home Messages More and more common Take time treating conservatively (adaptive devices, neoprene, injections) Any surgery with good technique is fine (with caveats)
