[Free musculo-tendinous flap stabilization-interposition of the palmaris longus tendon after trapezium surgery in rhizarthrosis].
Complete resection of the trapezium combined with interposition and ligament reconstruction with flexor carpi radialis remains the author's preferred method thumb basal joint arthritis the surgical treatment. Elevating half of the tendon takes a long time and is not so easy to perform. Using palmaris longus tendon with a fragment of muscle seemed to be more practical and quicker. It allowed simultaneously stabilization (tendon part) and an effective interposition (muscle part).
