Trapeziectomy Urgent Help

[Tommystenns]

Can anybody help me on finding out the intervention for a trapeziectomy both pre and pst op through physiotjerapy? i realise of course that strengthening and RoM exercises are required post op due to the 5weeks splinting endured by the patient but other than this i am unable to find much information...can anyone help me?? Names of people who have doen key studies on this area would also be much appreciated!!!

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom

We'll send this one out on this weeks eNews as it sounds pretty interesting. I have never seen a client following a Trapeziectomy. What was the reason for such a procedure?

Pardon my ignorance - removal of trapezius or trapezium? I'm guessing the bone under your thumb. The orthopod will have a list of do's and don'ts. All the best with it.

CRIKEY - you posted in 2006. What's this thread doing on the front page of physiobob? Hmmmm.
