Our objective was to determine how these scores compare amongstpatients with trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis treated either nonoperatively or operatively.Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, we compared PROMIS scores (upper extremity function [UEF],pain interference, and depression) between 43 patients who underwent nonoperative treatment (nonsteroidal antiinflammatorydrugs/splinting/injections) and 33 patients who underwent trapeziectomy with ligament reconstructionand tendon interposition for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (minimum 6-month recovery period) by 4 surgeons from2014–2018. PROMIS scores were compared across all patients by Eaton-Littler staging. We used linear regression toassess correlations between time-since-surgery and each PROMIS domain. Multivariable linear regression was usedto identify patient and disease factors independently associated with PROMIS scores.Results: Surgery was not associated with better UEF (37 vs. 40, P=0.23), less pain interference (58 vs. 56, P=0.42),or fewer symptoms of depression (47 vs. 46, P=0.59). Similarly, no differences were observed across all patient byEaton-Littler stage for UEF (P=0.49), pain (P=0.48), or depression (P=0.90). For the operative group, greater timesince-surgery, or patient recovery period, correlated moderately with worse UEF (R=0.41) and increased pain (R=0.37).Conclusion: In small retrospective comparative cohorts, surgery was not associated with better UEF, pain, ordepression scores compared with nonoperative treatment for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.Level of evidence: III %U https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_15756_a733110f87128971a486cc92b58ee341.pdf
