Thumb Basal Joint (CMC I) Arthritis - Preoperative Anxiety/Depression, Outcome Instruments, Carpal Cinematics and Cost-utility
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A project aiming to promote evidence based practice when treating thumb basal joint (CMC I) arthritis. We will aim to: 1) provide the minimal clinical difference of two general outcome instruments, 2) evaluate the association between pre-operative anxiety and/or depression and outcomes following trapeziectomy, 3) evaluate the effect of trapziectomy on carpal cinematics, 4) determine the cost-utility-ratio of trapeziectomy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation [12 months]
The PRWE comprises 15 questions to measure wrist pain and disability in daily activities. In PRWE patients rate wrist pain and disability from 0 to 10 and it consists two subscales: Pain and Function (0=best possible outcome, 10=worst possible outcome)
- Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire [12 months]
A hand-specific outcomes instrument that contains six distinct scales: (1) overall hand function, (2) activities of daily living, (3) pain, (4) work performance, (5) aesthetics, and (6) patient satisfaction with hand function.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pain Catastrophizing Scale [12 months]
A pain catastrophizing scale comprising of three subscales: (1) Helplessness, (2) Rumination, and (3) Magnification
- Pain (Visual Analogue Scale) [12 months]
The VAS is derived by health care professional question of pain in scale 0 to 10 (0=no pain, 10=worst possible pain)
- Global improvemen [12 months]
Global rating to treatment effect will be evaluated by question: "How would you rate the function of your hand compared to the situation before the treatment?". The options are in 5-step Likert scale from (-2) Much worse to (+2) Much better
- Grip strength [12 months]
Grip strength is measured with a dynamometer in kg as the mean of three measurements. It will be numbered in kg and percentage of the unaffected side
- Wrist and hand (thumb) range of motion (ROM) [12 months]
ROM is measured on both hands with a handheld goniometer in degrees.
- Cost-utility [12 months]
Quality-adjusted life years/months measured as a change in EQ-5D
- Carpal Kinematics [12 months]
Evaluated from preoperative and compared to 1-year postoperative 4-dimension cone-beam tomography - the wrists are imaged in 7 different postures to reproduce carpal movement, the pre and postoperative scans will be compared to evalueate the effect of trapeziectomy on carpal kinematics (e.g. scapholunate angle, lunotriquetral angle, metacarpal subsidence)
- Beck Depression Inventory [12 months]
21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression
