| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to introduce arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy and tendon interposition for the treatment of symptomatic thumb carpometacarpal arthritis of Eaton stage II or III. From August 2001 to April 2009, 23 patients with thumb carpometacarpal arthritis were treated using this technique. Pain score, range of motion, and pinch strength were clinically evaluated and compared with the preoperative values after a minimum follow-up duration of 24 months. Significant reduction in pain score and increases in range of motion and pinch strength were found (all p < 0.001) after a 2-year follow-up. The mean ± SD (median) postoperative pain score was 1.0 ± 0.7 (1.0) at rest and 1.3 ± 0.9 (1.0) during daily activities. The postoperative range of motion was 19.1° ± 4.2° (20°) for extension and 35.7° ± 7.1° (35.0°) for flexion, and the postoperative pinch strength was 86.5 % ± 19.9 % (90.0 %). No complications were observed in our patient series. Arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy and soft tissue interposition could be an alternative treatment method for patients with symptomatic thumb carpometacarpal arthritis of Eaton stage II or III. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 January 2016.
All research outputs
#13,451,930
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#418
of 1,371 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#187,197
of 388,246 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#4
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,371 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 388,246 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
