note = "ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: Trapeziometacarpal
osteoarthritis is one of the pathologies that causes major
disability and pain in the upper limb, as the hand is our
primary tool for interacting with the world. This condition
is more common in postmenopausal women. Many aggressive
techniques are described for its treatment, which hinder
postoperative recovery. The central objective of the study
is to establish the effectiveness of a less invasive
technique that allows for early recovery, such as
arthroscopic resection of the distal pole of the trapezium
and percutaneous trapeziometacarpal stabilization. Material
and methods: This is an observational, retrospective,
non-interventional study with an analytical nature. The
sample includes patients who were in stage III of Eaton,
operated on at the Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza
between March 25, 2021, and February 5, 2024. The following
data were collected, such as pain (EVA Scale) and hand
functionality (Quick Dash), before and after the
intervention using a questionnaire created on the Google
Forms platform. These data were subsequently analyzed using
the SPSS program, with statistical significance considered
at a p-value < 0.05. Results: Of the total sample, 85.5%
were postmenopausal women. The differences obtained after
the intervention regarding the scores on the EVA and Quick
Dash scales were statistically significant, confirming an
improvement in both pain and functionality. However, it was
not possible to determine from which point in the
postoperative period the functional improvement became
significant. Nor were any significant differences found
related to the age or sex of the patients. Conclusions: It
is claimed that the intervention is effective. The majority
of patients are postmenopausal women. A significant
correlation has been demonstrated between the improvement
in pain and the Quick Dash before and after the
intervention. Studies with a larger sample size are needed
to support and generalize our findings.",
