Anatomy & Pathophysiology

Bony Anatomy & Joint Mechanics

• The thumb metacarpal is independent and articulates with the trapezium [26].
• The thumb ray is the most divergent of the five rays of the hand [26].
• The thumb has a more proximal and lateral position than the four fingers, allowing movement inward and outward from the palm [21].
• The web space of the thumb is the largest and deepest of the hand [21].
• The thumb is described as the master digit of the hand, representing the dominant element that gives value to all other digits [26].
• The hand consists of 19 bones, 17 articulations, and 19 muscles situated entirely within the hand [21].

Prosthesis Design & Biomechanics

• The Touch® prosthesis reproduces the concept of dual mobility consisting of a mobile prosthetic head in a polyethylene insert that is freely moveable within a metal cup [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis comprises two concentric articulations: a smaller articulation between the head and polyethylene insert, and a larger articulation between the polyethylene insert and metal cup [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis utilizes metal-on-polyethylene bearings [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis is modular, composed of a titanium alloy stem (Ti–6Al–4 V), an M30 stainless steel intermediate implant, and an M30 stainless steel hemispheric cup [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis head is covered by a pre-assembled high-density 7-mm diameter polyethylene insert [13].
• Implant fixation for the Touch® prosthesis is achieved by a press-fit effect and a double-layer porous titanium and hydroxyapatite coating that promotes osteointegration [13].
• The total in vitro range of motion of the Touch® prosthesis is 117 degrees [13].

Pathophysiology & Complications

• Aseptic cup loosening is cited as the most common reason for implant failure in thumb carpometacarpal joint replacement, leading to revision rates of 42%–51% [15].
• Proximal migration of the thumb is a major drawback of resection-suspension arthroplasty that can lead to compromised pinch strength and disability [15].
• Polyethylene liner fracture in the Touch prosthesis can present as persistent clicking during thumb motion without antecedent trauma or pain [11].
• Standard radiographs and CT scans may show a well-aligned implant without evidence of loosening in cases of polyethylene liner fracture [11].
• Stress-view imaging (dynamic x-ray) using a fluoroscopic image intensifier can reveal instability of the carpometacarpal I joint and decentralization of the head compared with the cup in cases of polyethylene liner fracture [11].
• Dynamic radiographic imaging with longitudinal traction is important for making a timely diagnosis of polyethylene liner fracture when standard radiographs are normal [14].
• Revision surgery for polyethylene liner fracture involves exchanging only the liner, which restores stability [11].

Classification

• The Touch® prosthesis reproduces the original concept of dual mobility as defined by Gilles Bousquet for a total hip prosthesis [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis consists of a mobile prosthetic head in a polyethylene insert that is freely moveable within a metal cup [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis was developed in 2013 based on the principle of a ball-and-socket joint with three degrees of freedom [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis is modular and composed of a titanium alloy stem (Ti–6Al–4 V) available in five sizes [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis includes an M30 stainless steel intermediate implant with a 4-mm diameter head covered by a pre-assembled high-density 7-mm diameter polyethylene insert [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis polyethylene insert is available in three lengths and two angles [13].
• The Touch® prosthesis includes an M30 stainless steel hemispheric cup available in two sizes (9 and 10 mm in diameter) [13].
• Implant fixation for the Touch® prosthesis is primary by a press-fit effect and secondary by means of a double-layer porous titanium and hydroxyapatite coating [13].
• The double-layer porous titanium and hydroxyapatite coating promotes and accelerates osteointegration [13].
• The total in vitro range of motion of the Touch® prosthesis is 117° [13].

Clinical Presentation

• Persistent clicking during thumb motion without antecedent trauma or pain can be a clinical sign of polyethylene liner fracture in a Touch prosthesis [11].
• Grip and pinch strength may remain clinically unchanged compared with the contralateral side despite the presence of a fractured polyethylene liner [11].
• Standard radiographs may appear normal in cases of polyethylene liner fracture, failing to reveal the diagnosis [14].
• Computed tomography (CT) scans may demonstrate a well-aligned implant without evidence of loosening even when a polyethylene liner fracture is present [11].
• Stress-view imaging using a fluoroscopic image intensifier can reveal instability of the carpometacarpal I joint during the application of translatory stress forces on the thumb [11].
• Stress-view imaging may show a hint of possible decentralization of the prosthetic head compared with the cup in cases of polyethylene liner fracture [11].

Investigations

• A careful physical examination is essential to direct care and future testing if indicated [17].

Treatment

Prosthetic Design and Mechanics

• The Touch® prosthesis cup is available in two sizes: 9 and 10 mm in diameter [13].
• Implant fixation for the Touch® prosthesis is primary by a press-fit effect and secondary by a double-layer porous titanium and hydroxyapatite coating [13].

Clinical Outcomes and Survival

• Trapeziometacarpal prosthesis enhances function, thumb length, and patient recovery [2].
• Total joint arthroplasty in primary trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis results in low pain levels, excellent mobility and clinical function with high patient satisfaction [7].
• The Elektra prosthesis for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis has a revision rate of 44% after 72 months [1].
• The Elektra prosthesis for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis is not recommended due to poor outcomes after only 2 years [6].
• MAÏA TMC joint prosthesis is a reliable long-term surgical procedure for TMC joint osteoarthritis, improving overall function beyond 10 years [19].
• The Moovis prosthesis is recommended for the treatment of advanced trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis for people having an activity without too many manual constraints [5].

Complications and Technical Considerations

• A fracture of the polyethylene liner in a Touch trapeziometacarpal prosthesis can present as persistent clicking during thumb motion without antecedent trauma or pain [11].
• Stress-view imaging using a fluoroscopic image intensifier can reveal instability of the carpometacarpal I joint and possible decentralization of the head compared with the cup in cases of suspected polyethylene liner fracture [11].
• Exchanging only the polyethylene liner restores stability after a liner fracture in a Touch prosthesis [11].
• Correct implant position can lead to reliable medium-term results after trapeziometacarpal joint arthroplasty with unconstrained cups [9].
• Attentive reaming of the trapezium and careful cup impaction are crucial steps to avoid trapezial fracture and early cup failure in Moovis arthroplasty [12].
• Scaphometacarpal arthroplasty using a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis is not sufficiently reliable to be a routine solution for surgical revision of failed TMC arthroplasty or trapeziectomy [16].
• Scaphometacarpal arthroplasty using a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis should be used with caution, primarily as a salvage solution if no safer alternative is available [16].
• Aseptic cup loosening is the most common reason for implant failure in replacement arthroplasty, leading to revision rates of 42%–51% [15].

Complications

Polyethylene Liner Fracture

• A 53-year-old male professional cook developed persistent clicking during thumb motion 12 months after Touch trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis [11].
• Standard radiographs and CT scans in a patient with suspected polyethylene liner fracture may show a well-aligned implant without evidence of loosening [11].
• Stress-view imaging using a fluoroscopic image intensifier can reveal instability of the carpometacarpal I joint and possible decentralization of the head compared with the cup when standard radiographs are normal [11].
• Revision surgery for a suspected polyethylene liner fracture may confirm a fractured PE liner with an intact metallic head and stem [11].
• Exchanging only the polyethylene liner can restore stability in cases of Touch prosthesis liner fracture [11].

• The Touch trapeziometacarpal joint arthroplasty reported a 96% implant survival rate at 2 years [4].
