Finger Extension

This is a case report of a fifty-nine-year-old rheumatoid arthritic woman who developed lack in finger extension bilaterally. These deficits had two completely different aetiologies, Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) Syndrome and extensor tendon rupture. No previous report in the literature has used elbow arthrography as a diagnostic tool in a patient with PIN Syndrome. Elbow arthrography confirmed the abnormality at this joint and aided in appropriate management.

Tendon Ruptures

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, temafloxacin, etc.) have recently been implicated in the etiology of Achilles tendinitis and subsequent tendon rupture. We report on a patient with bilateral partial Achilles tendon ruptures associated with ciprofloxacin therapy and present a review of the current literature on this increasingly recognized complication. Treatment with fluoroquinolones should be discontinued at the first sign of tendon inflammation so as to reduce the risk of subsequent rupture. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in distinguishing between Achilles tendinitis and partial tendon rupture.

Abstract Background Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon rupture is a rare complication of scaphoid nonunion. Case Description A fit active 70-year-old woman ruptured her FPL when it abraded on a painless 50-year-old scaphoid nonunion. She had asymptomatic scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) arthritis. At surgery, the sharp mobile volar scaphoid osteophytes were excised and the volar wrist capsule was repaired. A vascularized fat flap based on a perforator of the radial artery was used to augment the volar wrist capsule repair and to create a smooth gliding surface for the FPL. The ruptured FPL tendon was reconstructed with a palmaris longus graft. Literature Review Complete rupture of the FPL tendon secondary to scaphoid nonunion is a rare complication. It can be easily misdiagnosed because the original injury may be unrecognized or forgotten. A consensus regarding the optimal surgical management has not been reached. Clinical Relevance The objective of surgery in this case was to restore FPL function and prevent a recurrent rupture. The asymptomatic SNAC arthritis was not treated. No further wrist surgery was required. The patient was asymptomatic with a functioning FPL tendon 4 years after surgery.

Type Of Fracture

Juxta-epiphyseal fractures of the proximal phalanx are relatively common. A case report and literature review calls attention to the possibility of entrapment of either a flexor or extensor tendon in this type of fracture.
