Rhizarthrosis is a frequently occurring pathology leading to severe limitations in daily life due to pain and loss of function. Good clinical results have been reported for some carpometacarpal (CMC) joint prosthesis designs, but high failure rates due to loosening and dislocation must be considered. The study aim was to investigate a new, double mobility CMC-prosthesis design with special focus on (1) the functional outcome and (2) patient quality of life (QOL)
