The influence of subluxation on the severity of symptoms, disability, and the results of operative treatment in TMC osteoarthritis with total joint arthroplasty

ConclusionsThis study indicates that radial subluxation may not be an important factor in symptoms and function in patients with symptomatic TMC osteoarthritis without severe scaphotrapezio (ST) joint degeneration. In addition, preoperative subluxation seems not to be important for the result after total joint arthroplasty.
