Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Approximately 28% of those cases are symptomatic. Its pathoanatomy and treatment has been well described. Trapeziometacarpal joint is the most commonly joint requiring treatment for osteoarthritis in the upper extremity, often involving removing the trapezius. The same demographic group is also frequently affected by carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which coexists with basal joint arthritis in 18% to 46% of patients. In those cases, a combined surgical approach has been reported to be beneficial. The two conditions have traditionally been treated surgically through separate incisions.
a radial incision for trapeziectomy and standard midline volar carpal tunnel incision for median nerve decompression. Trapeziectomy has been proved to provide some degree of carpal tunnel decompression. However, as previous studies have suggested, release of the transverse carpal ligament should be performed in addition to basal joint arthroplasty incision, as trapeziectomy by itself does not completely decompress the carpal tunnel. The ability to decompress the carpal tunnel during basal joint arthroplasty using a single incision would allow to shorten surgery time, improve appearance, and potentially decrease morbidity compared to a staged or two-incision procedure. We sought to determine whether carpal tunnel release using a single incision during basal joint arthroplasty is as effective as two-incision approach in patients with concomitant CTS and basal thumb joint osteoarthrosis. The secondary hypothesis is that single incision prevents from morbidity associated to a second incision, such as pillar pain, longer surgical procedure, infection rate or necrosis of the skin bridge between incisions

Single incision
Carpal tunnel release and basal joint arthroplasty through a single radial approach
Carpal tunnel release and basal joint arthroplasty through single incision
Group I: experimental - single incision The surgical technique chosen for thumb basal join was trapeziectomy with ligamentous reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI), using flexor carpi radialis (FCR). Through a dorsal approach over trapeziometacarpal joint, the entire trapezium was excised. Volar traction of FCR allowed us to longitudinally incise the deep leaflet of FCR tendon until flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon was clearly visualized. Then, ulnar half of FCR tendon was harvested proximally through a second transverse incision in middle third of the forearm and split all the way to its insertion on the index metacarpal. A hole was placed in the base of the first metacarpal and FCR tendon was routed through the bone canal and then fixed with non-reabsorbable sutures. Finally, the tendon remanent was rolled up and placed into the trapezial void to act as a spacer.
Double incision
Double approach: carpal tunnel release through palmar approach and basal joint arthroplasty through radial approach
Carpal tunnel release and basal joint arthroplasty through double incision
Group II: active comparator - double incision Trapezial excision and ligament reconstruction were performed in the same way as in group I, except that FCR deep leaflet was not incised. After radial incision wound closure, carpal tunnel release was performed through a second separate longitudinal palmar incision.
