28 patients (32 hands) were randomized to evaluate the effectiveness of cemented versus uncemented trapezium cups in total arthroplasty of the trapeziometacarpal joint. Patients were allocated to receive either uncemented Elektra screwed trapezium cups or cemented DLC all-polythelene trapezium cups, and underwent radiostereometric analysis and clinical evaluation for 2 years. Results at 2 years indicated that there were no significant differences between groups for trapezium component migration, and clinical outcomes were similar.
