Basal Joint Osteoarthritis of the Thumb Treated with Weilby Arthroplasty: A Prospective Study on the Early Postoperative Course of 106 Consecutive Cases
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 08/19/09

Schou L et al. – The main decrease in pain occurred during the first 3 months after operation. Mobility was improved or unaltered in 82%. Average grip and pinch strength reached preoperative values between 12 and 26 weeks after surgery and were significantly greater at 52 weeks. Recovery after suspension arthroplasty takes 3–6 months, which may be a disadvantage to be considered when advising patients who are considering operative treatment.
