The dual mobility concept currently represents the newest generation of thumb carpometacarpal prostheses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of TOUCH® prosthesis. From September 2019 to December 2023,a minimum of 100 prosthesis shall be implanted in patients suffering from symptomatic stage III osteoarthritis. All included patients will follow a systematic follow-up regimen (4, 8, 16 weeks, 6, and 12 months as well as 24 months postoperatively).~Radiographics, ROM, VAS, DASH and Pinch grip are measured. Aim of the study is to compare clinical outcome of dual mobility prosthesis with common results of CMC I Prosthesis in literature.~The Study is designed to give clinical results after one year, 2 years and also long time results in the future.
