Phillip Duke, Elie Walsh, Ruby Strauss, Mark Ross The shoulder joint exhibits the greatest range of motion in the human body facilitated through the complex interplay of soft tissue and osseous anatomy. The wide range of movement in this joint results in a high susceptibility of dislocation with 50% of all joint dislocations involving the [...]
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether removing the proximal trapezoid from the scaphotrapezoid joint (STJ) and interposing tendon when performing a ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) for pan trapezial arthritis resulted in any clinical or radiographic compromise compared with LRTI alone in isolated carpometacarpal joint arthritis. Methods In a prospective consecutive cohort, [...]
