Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We hypothesize that, compared to other techniques in literature, pyrocarbon interposition results in: 1. Good functional recovery compared with the thumb function before surgery, with return to previous work 2. Less pain compared to the pain before surgery 3. High patient satisfactorion after treatment 4. Less post-operative complications than other interposition materials 5. Maintained thumb length | — |
