About this study

This is the second phase of a clinical study to assess MP hyperextension in CMC arthritis. In the first phase, submitted for publication, the investigators demonstrated that there is poor correlation between dynamic control of the MP joint and the amount of passive hyperextension preoperatively in a sample of patients with CMC arthritis.

Read the detailed description

To date, no studies have looked at the relationship of preoperative and postoperative MP pinch position and passive MP hyperextension in an arthritic patient population. Other research has found that dynamic thumb MP pinch position is independent of passive MP hyperextension in a healthy non-arthritic population (thumbs with passive MP hyperextension on exam did not pinch in a position of MP hyperextension), but no such investigation has been performed in an arthritic population pre and postoperatively. It is also undetermined which of these parameters (dynamic pinch or passive MP hyperextension) has a larger correlation to postoperative outcomes following basilar joint arthroplasty, and which parameter should be considered when determining whether or not to surgically stabilize the MP joint at the time of CMC arthroplasty.

The specific aim of this study is to compare the preoperative and postoperative changes in dynamic and passive range of motion of the thumb MP joint in patients undergoing CMC basilar joint reconstruction without concomitant MP joint stabilization.

Secondary aims of this study will be to compare postoperative pinch and grasp strength, radiographic subsidence and longitudinal collapse, in addition to postoperative patient reported outcomes in patients with good dynamic MP control (<5 degrees) vs poor dynamic control (>5degrees)

The hypothesis is that dynamic thumb MP pinch position will not change compared with its preoperative status. Investigators also hypothesize that patients with better dynamic pinch position postoperatively will have better pinch strength and better functional outcomes than patients with poor dynamic pinch position.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Passive Thumb MP Hyperextension

    degree of MP Hyperextension measured in clinic

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Dynamic thumb MP Hyperextension (key pinch)

    lateral key pinch measured with pinch gauge

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Dynamic thumb MP position during cylindrical grasp

    range of motion measure of thumb MP joint around a cylindrical object (peanut butter jar and water bottle)

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of CMC Arthritis, run by Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Passive Thumb MP Hyperextension (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2023.
