摘要
20 patients with 22 Caffiniere prostheses in the trapezio-metacarpal joint were evaluated at a median of nine years after operation. The indication was degenerative osteoarthrosis in 20 cases and rheumatoid arthritis in two cases. We found 18 of the 22 (82%) original prostheses still in place, with satisfactory pain relief and good function. Three hands had been revised due to aseptic loosening, with 6 1/2 and 10 years after the revision. We conclude that function does not deteriorate within the first nine years, that late loosening is not a significant problem with this prosthesis and that, if aseptic loosening occurs, it is possible to obtain good results by replacing the loose component.
