  • Research progress in etiology and clinical diagnosis and treatment of scaphotrapeziotrapezoid osteoarthritis

    Objective To summarize the research progress of scaphotrapeziotrapezoid osteoarthritis (STT OA) and its etiology and clinical treatment. Methods The domestic and foreign literature on STT OA in recent years was reviewed and the research progress was summarized. Results STT OA is a common OA, which is highly prevalent in postmenopausal women and diagnosed by wrist X-ray films. The current treatment methods include conservative treatment and surgery. Among them, the conservative treatment can relieve clinical symptoms, but the long-term effectiveness is not ideal. In surgical treatment, scaphoid arthrodesis can effectively relieve wrist pain, but it sacrifices part of the range of motion and grip strength of the wrist, and there is a risk of fusion failure. Distal scaphoid resection and trapezium resection have the advantages of short operation time, simple operation, less damage to the joint capsule and ligament, and shorter postoperative external fixation time, but they lead to changes in carpal bone alignment and dorsal intercalated segmental instability. Arthroplasty can provide pain relief while restoring grip strength and preserving wrist motion, but there is a risk of dislocation of the prosthesis. Conclusion At present, there is no gold standard for the STT OA treatment. The short-term effectiveness of arthroplasty and arthroscopic distal scaphoid resection are satisfactory, but the long-term effectiveness needs further study.
