Dislocation in Single-Mobility Versus Dual-Mobility Trapezometacarpal Joint Prostheses.

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze postoperative dislocation rates in single-mobility (Ivory) versus dual-mobility (Moovis) trapezometacarpal (TMC) joint prostheses. Second, we report complications requiring additional surgery in these 2 types of prostheses. Methods: We retrospectively obtained data of all patients receiving a TMC joint prothesis at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2020. We recorded the type of implant used (ie, single vs dual mobility; Ivory vs Moovis), and recorded dislocations and complications requiring additional surgery. Results: We recorded significantly more prosthetic dislocations in the single-mobility (Ivory) group (n = 6, 9.7%), compared with the dual-mobility (Moovis) group (n = 1, 1.4%). The most frequent complication requiring additional surgery was De Quervain tendinitis (n = 13, 9.6%). Conclusions: This study shows that a dual-mobility TMC prosthesis has significantly less postoperative dislocations compared with its single-mobility counterpart. We identity De Quervain tendinitis as the most frequent complication requiring additional surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
