Biomechanical Evaluation With Finite Element Models in Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthitis: Prospective Comparative Analysis of Loads in Arthroplasty With or Without Implants
Sponsor: Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
Summary
To better understand the load distribution in the Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint (CMC joint) in presence of osteoarthritis and how surgery by means of a suspension-resection arthroplasty or a joint replacement by means of a metal prosthesis affects this load distribution. These studies allow to supporting medical decisions and surgical treatments results with biomechanical evidence.The clinical management of the patients will be adapted to the treatment standards of the Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology Service of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, without the performance of this study influencing this process.
