We report a series of 12 patients (19 hands) with clasped thumb who underwent surgical treatment. The series is divided into three groups. In the first group, the prominent pathological feature was hypoplasia of the extensor tendons which was treated by tendon transfer. The second group, the arthrogryphotic type, had contracture of the intrinsic muscles of the thumb and shortening of the skin; these needed mainly release operations. In only three hands out of nine was tendon transfer performed. The third group was defined by a combination of skeletal, muscular and tendon hypoplasia. Instability of the M.P. joint and adduction contracture of the first ray were found in all hands of this group. The adduction deformity was corrected by skin-plasty of the first web and the extension was improved by tendon transfers. Only one case needed stabilisation of the M.P. joint. The final results were related to the extent of the contractures and to the age of the patient when treatment started.

Extensor Tendons

Extensor tendons in the finger are flat and not amenable to repair by core and epitendinous sutures. Mattress sutures and Kessler repairs without epitendinous stitching are often used for extensor tendon divisions in the fingers. Except when in full extension, the finger presents a series of curved surfaces (at each joint) to the tendon. It was hypothesized that extensor tendons are subject to the ‘tension band’ principle and that they might be amenable to repair by dorsal-only epitendinous sutures. A Silfverskiöld dorsal-only repair was compared with mattress and Kessler repairs in vitro on a curvilinear testing apparatus. The epitendinous technique was found to be significantly more resistant to gapping and rupture, as well as more resistant to deformation (i.e. stiffer) than the conventional techniques.

Tendon Entrapment

We retrospectively defined the rate and clinical features of tendon entrapment in 693 consecutive patients with 701 distal radius fractures treated in a single hospital. Eight extensor tendons and one flexor tendon were entrapped. All fractures with extensor tendon entrapment were palmarly displaced (Smith type) or epiphyseal. Flexor tendon entrapment was seen in dorsally angulated (Colles type) epiphyseal fracture. The rate of tendon entrapment in acute distal radius fractures was 1.3%. Extensor tendon entrapment in palmarly displaced fractures is more common.
