The dual mobility concept currently represents the newest generation of thumb carpometacarpal prostheses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of TOUCH® prosthesis. From September 2019 to December 2023,a minimum of 100 prosthesis shall be implanted in patients suffering from symptomatic stage III osteoarthritis. All included patients will follow a systematic follow-up regimen (4, 8, 16 weeks, 6, and 12 months as well as 24 months postoperatively). Radiographics, ROM, VAS, DASH and Pinch grip are measured. Aim of the study is to compare clinical outcome of dual mobility prosthesis with common results of CMC I Prosthesis in literature.

RECRUITINGDASH Score (Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand Score)
DASH Score is taken before Surgery and after 6, 12 and 24 months DASH (Disabilty of Arm Shoulder and Hand) Score reaches from 0-100, whereas 0 reprensents best score while 100 represents worst
Time frame: 24 months
Subjective Pain
patients report about subjective Pain level in average at 6, 12 and 24 months in a VAS (Visual Analog Pain Scale) scale (0-10), whereas 0 is best and 10 worst
