Trapeziectomy with LRTI alone could prevent postoperative thumb MCP hyperextension deformity for patients with thumb MCP extension < 30° and improve preoperative thumb MCP hyperextension. However, for patients with loss of radial abduction and MCP flexion due to the contracture, indirect correction of the MCP hyperextension was improbable.
