The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the failure rates among different trapeziometacarpal interposition implants used to treat thumb basal joint osteoarthritis. We searched Medline (PubMed), Web of Science and Scopus databases, to identify articles reporting on thumb interpositional arthroplasty, in English literature. We excluded studies with less than 35 cases and with a follow-up shorter than 24 months. Twenty-one studies were included. We assessed the quality of the studies using the Coleman Methodological Score. The mean quality of the studies was moderate. The total number of procedures included in this review was 1205. The failure rate for interposition implants was 11%. The main long-term complication was dislocation, which is also the major reason for revision.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the failure rates among different trapeziometacarpal interposition implants used to treat thumb basal joint osteoarthritis. We searched Medline (PubMed), Web of Science and Scopus databases, to identify articles reporting on thumb interpositional arthroplasty, in English literature. We excluded studies with less than 35 cases and with a follow-up shorter than 24 months. Twenty-one studies were included. We assessed the quality of the studies using the Coleman Methodological Score. The mean quality of the studies was moderate. The total number of procedures included in this review was 1205. The failure rate for interposition implants was 11%. The main long-term complication was dislocation, which is also the major reason for revision.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
