Trapeziectomy with tightrope suspension

Barley

I’m having this operation on my left hand in 6 weeks time. My surgeon has said the tightrope suspension is more successful than a basic Trapeziectomy, has anyone on here any experience of this operation and what was your experiences please?

According to this - admittedly small - study there doesn'-t seem to be any difference. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4796571/ I hope it helps.
