TOUCH® duo-mobile prosthesis in TMC osteoarthritis: two-year results and practical insights regarding key surgical steps and complication management
The Touch® dual-mobility prosthesis demonstrates high effectiveness in improving pain, function, and thumb stability, with low revision rates. Restoration of thumb length and correction of hyperextension support its use as a reliable surgical option. These findings are consistent with existing literature suggesting superior long-term stability compared to single mobility implants. Identified surgical challenges highlight factors contributing to complications and emphasize intraoperative strategies to prevent revision.
