Trapeziometacarpal total joint arthroplasty, with or without supervised hand rehabilitation: A quasi-experimental trial
The present study does not show a significant or clinically relevant benefit from supervised rehabilitation in terms of functional outcomes following TJA compared to education alone. Based on this, it seems safe to leave patients unsupervised in their recovery following TJA and to suffice with just education, however further exploration of effectiveness and safety of this intervention is recommend in larger trials.
