[Follow-up studies of transosseous capsule-ligament sutures of the basal joint of the thumb using a standardized holder].
In cases of capsular ligament lesions at the basal joint of the thumb, transosseal reinsertion has proved to be a suitable procedure for treating both old and fresh ruptures of the ligament. Primary suturing is only possible in the rare cases where the tear is straight and the ruptured ends are close. In cases of old ruptures, if no usable ligament stump or cicatricized strand can be found, plastic surgery should be performed. Roentgenograms are made under standardized conditions using a holder in order to objectify the preoperative and postoperative findings. To this end a holder has been developed which satisfies criteria for objective assessment.
