Trapezium Removal Options During CMC Arthroplasty

Arthrex provides two different options to ease the removal of the trapezium during a CMC arthroplasty procedure. The first is a trapeziectomy tool. This tool is included in the mini TightRope kit, and can also be ordered separately as an adjunct for an RTI or tendon transfer. The Trapeziectomy tool has a Corkscrew design meant to screw into the central aspect of the trapezium. This should be done by hand using an A0 connect handle. The tool is then used as a joystick to maneuver the bone while releasing the soft tissues around it. The mcglamery elevator was originally designed to elevate the metatarsal bones, but is now used increasingly for removal of the trapezium with its scoop like shape. You can use it as a lever to release around and underneath the bone. Both of these options can be used in adjunct with our CMC mini TightRope kit and our LRT specific Tenodesis kit.
