We report a case of palmar dislocation of a finger metacarpophalangeal joint. Disruption of all the supporting structures of this joint and rupture of the flexor tendon sheath caused marked instability. Treatment was by open reduction and repair of the collateral ligaments.

Trigger Wrist

Trigger wrist is a rare condition unlike the trigger finger of the metacarpophalangeal joint. This report describes a case of trigger wrist secondary to a giant cell tumour of the flexor tendon sheath. No previous reports are available in the medical literature.

Distal Aspect

A six-year-old warmblood horse was presented with a longstanding frontlimb lameness with mild digital flexor tenosynovitis and swelling of the distomedial pastern. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance revealed a dense mass lesion in the distal aspect of the digital flexor tendon sheath, with a partial lamellar architecture, absence of internal vascularization and adjacent smooth pressure osteolysis of the middle phalanx. After surgical excision, histopathology confirmed an epithelial inclusion cyst. Epithelial inclusion cysts, also known as keratinizing or follicular cysts, are expansile benign mass-like lesions of aberrant epidermal tissue. In the horse, they are known to occur in cutaneous and several non-cutaneous tissues. In the digital flexor tendon sheath, they have rarely been described. Given their often chronic presentation in this location, they may appear as an atypical dense mass on imaging, uncommon for cystic lesions. Complete tenoscopic removal, even for larger masses, is achievable and considered curative with good prognosis for return.

Injection studies using methylene blue and latex were used in 60 digits from 40 cadavers to study how anaesthetic fluid injected into the flexor tendon sheath might spread around the proximal part of the finger. The injected solution escaped from the flexor tendon sheath around the vincular vessels which are present near the base and head of the proximal phalanx. Outside the digital canal, the dye flowed smoothly through the perivascular loose areolar tissue and spread alongside the main digital vessels and nerves and their palmar and dorsal branches.

Flexor Tendon Sheath

Two unusual cases of injury to the sesamoids of the M.P. joint of the thumb are described. An anatomical dissection of the M.P. volar plate region, including the sesamoids, was undertaken to delineate the details of the sesamoids’ relationship to the M.P. joint, flexor tendon, flexor tendon sheath and capsule of the joint. Histological studies were carried out to demonstrate a tendinous extension of the muscles that attach to the sesamoids.

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumour

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is a common benign lesion of the hand. They are also known as tenosynovial giant cell tumours. Magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging modality of choice and the current treatment is surgical excision of the lesion. This lesion is particularly known for its high recurrence rates. Here, we present a case of a recurrent tenosynovial giant cell tumour of the flexor tendon sheath of the index finger at the distal palmar crease. Diagnosis was confirmed by MRI and the lesion was excised. Histopathology revealed a localized type of tenosynovial giant cell tumour.
