Joint Flexion

The percutaneous release of accessory collateral ligaments was introduced in 1986 as a safe and quick procedure to be attempted before open, more extensive joint release in the treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture. Our study analyzed the long-term results and patient satisfaction following a percutaneous release in 30 joints after a mean follow-up period of 34 months. In one half of cases the preoperative joint flexion deformity was reduced from 78° to 34°. The best results were observed in patients with osteoarthritis and stiff, immobilized joints. In patients with inflammatory arthritides, marked intraoperative correction was maintained rarely, joint contractures recurred early, and patients were unsatisfied. There were no intraoperative complications. Percutaneous release of the accessory collateral ligaments can produce a long lasting correction of the joint contracture, but careful patient selection and strict postoperative rehabilitation are essential for favorable outcome.

The Mean

We report the long-term results of a single-stage reduction procedure for the treatment of macrodactyly. Six patients (eight cases) were included. These patients underwent a single-stage operation that included debulking with resection of the hypertrophied digital nerve and distal interphalangeal joint fusion or corrective osteotomy. Plain radiographs and functional parameters were assessed. Aesthetic improvement was achieved in all patients. The mean ratios of the lengths and circumference differences between the affected digit and the corresponding normal digit on the other hand were 1:1 and 1:1, respectively. The mean range of motion in the proximal interphalangeal joint was 76°. A sensory deficit in the lateral pulp of the distal phalangeal area was observed in three fingers. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score ranged from 0 to 9 (mean 4). The long-term results of the single-stage reduction procedure were satisfactory, as demonstrated by the excellent adjustment of the length and acceptable circumference of the affected digits.

Early Functional Outcome

In children with absent thumbs, some authors have stated that ‘relative’ contraindications of pollicization include severe fixed flexion contracture and instability of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the index finger. The current author does not consider severe proximal interphalangeal joint deformities of the index finger as a contraindication to pollicization; and hence these children are offered the procedure. A literature review did not reveal any study that specifically documents the outcome of pollicization in these cases. The current series included five children: four with severe (over 80°) fixed flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the index finger and one with instability of the proximal interphalangeal joint. All children were initially assessed during infancy at their local hospitals and the parents were informed that a pollicization procedure would yield a poor outcome. Presentation to the author was relatively late at a mean of 9.3 years (range 2.5–12). All children underwent two surgical procedures: a pollicization followed by fusion of the new metacarpophalangeal joint. The overall early functional outcome was good and all children/parents were satisfied with the procedure. These encouraging results warrant a prospective long term study on various conditions that are considered as ‘relative’ contraindications to the pollicization procedure. Level evidence: IV Therapeutic (case series)

Patient Demographics

We report long-term outcomes of proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis for treatment of severe recurrent joint contractures secondary to Dupuytren’s disease. The patients had at least two previous procedures for Dupuytren’s contracture that involved the same joint, before undergoing joint fusion. Patient demographics, satisfaction, functional outcome, complications, revision and re-operation rates are reported. Eleven patients were included with a mean age of 64 years (range 53–73). The mean proximal interphalangeal joint contracture at presentation was 102° (range 80°–120°). None required revision surgery at a mean of 8 years and 9 months (range 9–199 months). All patients were able to perform their activities of daily living and would recommend this operation to family and friends. This series shows that proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis combined with needle fasciotomy or segmental fasciectomy provides a satisfactory salvage procedure in cases of severe recurrent Dupuytren’s disease. Level of evidence: IV

Intended Use

Two adult warmblood horses with a history of chronic hind limb lameness originating from the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) were presented at the equine hospital De Bosdreef (Belgium) between 2016 and 2017. Based on the case history and orthopedic examination, chronic osteoarthrosis (OA) of the PIPJ was diagnosed in both horses. A modified surgical arthrodesis of the PIPJ was performed using a central dorsal three-hole proximal interphalangeal locking compression plate (PIP plate) and four 5.5 mm transarticular cortical screws placed in a lag fashion (TCS-LF). The procedure resulted in an early bone bridging of the PIPJ and a return of the horses to the intended use within ten months after the surgery.
