Brief Summary

Although a common problem, hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is less studied than knee and hip. In the age group of 71-100 years, the prevalence of symptomatic HOA reaches 26% of women and 13% of men. These patients lose hand strength and have difficulty with day-to-day manual activities. The main joints involved are the proximal and distal interphalangeals and the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb. In the educational Project PARQVE, the prevalence of HOA was 23.7% at inclusion in the program, and 47.4% after one year, with loss of grip strength. There is controversy over the effect of viscosupplementation in the treatment of rhizarthritis when considering pain. However, strength is a very important function parameter that must be evaluated for function and quality of life maintenance. Concerned about the importance of maintaining strength and function in our program (PARQVE), we have added specific exercises tom improve hand strength and range of motion. Trying to optimize the treatment and confronting questions about the effect of the joint wash, called placebo in the comparative studies with corticosteroid and/or hyaluronic acid injection, we did a work where all the patients will be washed with physiological saline solution but a group, after emptying, will receive 1mL of hyaluronic acid with mannitol. PURPOSE: To compare isolated lavage with lavage followed by injection of hyaluronic acid with mannitol into carpometacarpal osteoarthritis joint of the thumb. METHODS: Forty joints of patients with multiple osteoarthritis (rhizoarthritis, including) and comorbidities (two or more of: overweight or obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, hypertension) will be allocated into two groups: Lavage (LS) and Lavage and Injection Hilauronic acid (LO). Both groups will undergo joint lavage with saline solution. The LO group will receive the 20 mg / mL hilauronic acid injection with 5mg mannitol. Both groups will be guided in the clinical treatment of osteoarthritis and metabolic syndrome and will be given daily exercises for the hands. They will be evaluated with the quick DASH questionnaire, Sollerman Test and by measuring the palmar, lateral and pulp-pulp grip strength, in addition to measuring the ROM and VAS pain moments immediately prior to the procedure, one, three and six months after the articular procedure.

Study Arms (2)

Lavage with Saline (LS)

EXPERIMENTAL

Under sterile conditions, the 1st carpometacarpal (CMC) will be locally anesthetized with ropivacaine and will be submitted to joint lavage with physiologic saline solution 2 to 5 mL (injection with a 30x8 needle and drained with the same needle after removal of the syringe. After emptying of the joint, 1mL saline solution will be injected. Patients will ask to answer Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaire, Range of Motion (ROM), Quick DASH, Sollerman Test, and functional grip strength (palmar grip strength, lateral grip strength and pulp-pulp pinch strength) evaluations immediately prior to the procedure and after 1, 3 and 6 months of each joint.

EXPERIMENTAL

Under sterile conditions, the 1st carpometacarpal (CMC) will be locally anesthetized with ropivacaine and will be submitted to lavage with physiologic saline solution and Osteonil® Mini 1mL of 10mg will be injected in the 1st CMC joint. Patients will ask to answer Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaire, Range of Motion (ROM), Quick DASH, Sollerman Test, and functional grip strength (palmar grip strength, lateral grip strength and pulp-pulp pinch strength) evaluations immediately prior to the procedure and after 1, 3 and 6 months of each joint.
