AbstractThe surgical management of proximal interphalangeal joint fracture subluxations is challenging. The hemi-hamate autograft is a useful but technically challenging technique for these injuries. We describe a simple technical note, using a bone wax template to help guide the harvest of a geometrically accurate hemi-hamate graft to facilitate accurate proximal interphalangeal joint reconstruction, while reducing donor site morbidity.

This review describes the different possibilities for arthroplasties at the proximal interphalangeal joint, thumb carpometacarpal joint, distal radioulnar joint, metacarpophalangeal joint and the wrist. For each joint, the indication for arthroplasty is explained, the surgical technique with the suitable implant is described and a brief summary of the outcomes reported in the literature is given.

Introduction Trigger finger is a common and functionally limiting disorder. Finger immobilization using an orthotic device is one of the conservative treatment options for treating this condition. The most common orthosis previously described for trigger finger is metacarpophalangeal joint immobilization. There are limited studies describing the effectiveness of proximal interphalangeal joint orthosis for treatment of trigger finger. Methods This study was a single group pretest-posttest design. Adult patients with single digit idiopathic trigger finger were recruited and asked to wear a full-time orthoses for 6 weeks. The pre- and post-outcome measures included Quick-DASH score, the Stages of Stenosing Tenosynovitis (SST), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, the number of triggering events in ten active fists, and participant satisfaction with symptom improvement. Orthotic devices were made with thermoplastic material fabricated with adjustable Velcro tape at dorsal side. All participants were given written handouts on this disease, orthotic care and gliding exercises. Paired t-tests were used to determine changes in outcome measures before and after wearing the orthosis. Results There were 30 participants included in this study. Evaluation after the use of PIP joint orthosis at 6 weeks revealed that there were statistically significant improvements in Quick-DASH score from enrolment (mean difference −29.0 (95%CI −34.5 to −23.4); p < 0.001), SST (mean difference −1.4 (95%CI −1.8 to −1.0); p < 0.001) and VAS (mean difference −3.4 (95%CI −4.3 to −2.5); p < 0.001). There were no serious adverse events and patient satisfaction with the treatment was high. Conclusions Despite our small study size, the use of proximal interphalangeal joint orthosis for 6 weeks resulted in statistically significant improvements in function, pain and triggering, and also high rates of acceptance in patients with isolated idiopathic trigger finger.

Background: Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) dorsal fracture dislocations (DFD) are challenging injuries. Treatment aims to achieve stability of the PIPJ after reduction so that early motion can be initiated. We studied how increasing articular destruction would affect post reduction stability and investigate the amount of traction and PIPJ flexion needed to maintain the reduction. Methods: Increasing amounts (20%, 40% and 60%) of damage to the volar lip of the middle phalanx in cadaveric specimens were created to represent PIPJ DFD that were stable, of tenuous stability and frankly unstable. Traction forces and PIPJ flexion needed to maintain the reduction were then measured. Results: The PIPJ DFD with 20% damage were stable and did not subluxe while the one with 40% articular involvement was stable after reduction. For unstable the PIPJ with 60% involvement, the more the PIPJ was flexed, the less traction force was needed to hold the joint in reduction. For PIPJ flexion of 20 degrees, a minimum 4.4N of force is needed to maintain reduction while PIPJ flexion of 10 degrees required a minimum 5.0N of force. No amount of force could maintain PIPJ reduction if traction was performed in full extension. Conclusions: In our model, PIPJ DFD with less than 30% articular damage are stable while those with 30% to 50% of involvement have tenuous stability. For the unstable PIPJ DFD, traction obviates the need for excessive flexion of the PIPJ to maintain joint reduction. This information should be considered in treatment modalities for PIPJ DFD, as well in the design of external traction devices for the treatment of PIPJ DFD.

We report our results in ten cases of vascularized joint transfer to reconstruct the proximal interphalangeal joint (five cases) or metacarpophalangeal joints (five cases). Donor sites were the proximal interphalangeal or the metatarsophalangeal joints of the second toe. Indications for surgery were the need to reconstruct both the growth plate and joint space in children or the impossibility of a conventional prosthetic implant. The average range of motion was 44° for the PIP joint and 53° for the MP joint at a mean follow-up of 22.7 months.
