MAÏA Trapeziometacarpal Joint Arthroplasty: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of 76 Patients With More Than 10 Years of Follow-Up.

Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint replacement has become a valid option in the therapeutic arsenal of TMC joint osteoarthritis in Europe. Good mid-term results of the MAÏA TMC joint prosthesis suggested that it is a reliable procedure. This study aimed to assess the long-term results of this modular uncemented ball-and-socket hydroxyapatite-coated implant. This single-center retrospective study evaluated 92 MAÏA TMC joint prostheses in 76 patients with a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. Indications for the procedure were painful TMC joint osteoarthritis both at rest and during activity, despite nonsurgical treatment for more than six months. Pre- and postoperative clinical and radiographic outcomes were compared. Mean follow-up was 134 months (range: 120-158 months). Mean age at the time of surgery was 67 years (range: 53-84 years). The cohort comprised 86.8% of women (n = 66). The mean Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score improved from 61.3 ± 17.1 to 19.6 ± 16. Range of motion was restored, and postoperative mobility was comparable with that of the contralateral side. Final Kapandji opposition score was almost normal (9.2 ± 0.7). Final key pinch and grip strength improved by 26% and 39%, respectively. Eight implants were surgically revised, six for trapezium cup loosening and two for instability because of polyethylene wear. Three cases of traumatic fracture of the trapezium in older patients were successfully treated with a cast for eight weeks. Five of 26 (20.8%) cases of preoperative-reducible z-deformity were not totally corrected after surgery. The Kaplan-Meier survival over 10 years was 88% (95% confidence interval: 84-93) versus 93% (95% confidence interval: 87-98) over 5 years. MAÏA TMC joint prosthesis is a reliable long-term surgical procedure for TMC joint osteoarthritis, improving overall function beyond 10 years. Therapeutic IV.
