We report a case of a 28-year-old male who sustained a comminuted trapezium fracture with carpometacarpal subluxation of the right hand. Treatment with internal fixation with a headless compression screw resulted in excellent outcomes.

There has been a considerable evolution of screws used for internal fixation of scaphoid fractures. We discuss here, early results of a recently introduced implant Synthes 3.0 mm headless compression screw used for scaphoid fracture fixation. Twenty eight patients with scaphoid fractures (five acute and 23 nonunions) were treated with internal fixation by this non-variable pitch screw over a period of 18 months. All nonunions had pedicle vascularized bone grafting. All five patients with acute scaphoid fracture fixation had radiological healing at a mean of 8 weeks. Fifteen of 23 scaphoid fracture nonunions showed definite signs and a further seven showed probable signs of radiological healing at a mean of 8 months. One nonunion has failed to unite after surgery.

Lisfranc Injuries

AbstractBackgroundLisfranc injury is rare and the diagnosis maybe easily missed. This study reviews the experience of a single centre.MethodsA prospective review of patients with Lisfranc injuries presenting to a single surgeon with a specialist interest in foot and ankle surgery over a one year period.ResultsFive patients were identified-four men and one woman with a median age of 31 years (range 22-50 years). Presentation was a mean of 25 days after injury (range 3-56 days). The left foot was affected in three cases and the right in two. There was joint diastasis in four patients and fracture-dislocation in one. Three patients presented early and were treated by internal fixation and two presented late and were managed conservatively. Mean follow-up was eight months (range 4.5-12 months). Surgery resulted in a return to work by 6 months with no symptoms. The two patients managed conservatively continued to experience pain at 12 months and were unable to return to their original occupations.ConclusionInjury to the Lisfranc joint should be excluded in any foot injury. Early diagnosis and internal fixation appears to result in an earlier return to work when compared to nonoperative management.

AbstractObjectivesTo report an unusual presentation of a Lobular Capillary Hemangioma in a 48 h old neonate to inform practitioners on the importance of proper identification of the lesion, differential diagnosis and management.Case presentationWe report the case of a newborn female presenting with a pedunculated mass on the right hand, port-wine colored that quickly turned dark purple indicating thrombosis. The mass was surgically excised without complications and histopathology analysis reported a LCH. An abdominal and renal ultrasound was requested to rule out any underlying abnormalities. At follow-up, two months later, there is adequate healing and no related complications.ConclusionsLobular Capillary Hemangioma is a rare vascular malformation that occurs at an early age in the head and neck in most cases. We report an unusual case of a newborn female patient with a pedunculated lobular hemangioma on the right hand. Surgical treatment was performed with good cosmetic results. Our case is relevant as it raises awareness of the different diagnoses a congenital mass can be and that we, as physicians, should take into consideration when making a diagnosis and treatment.

A 55-year-old woman was referred because of diffuse pruritic erythematous lesions and an ischemic process of the third finger of her right hand. She was known to have anaemia secondary to hypermenorrhea. She presented six months before admission with a cutaneous infiltration on the left cubital cavity after a paravenous leakage of intravenous iron substitution. She then reported a progressive pruritic erythematous swelling of her left arm and lower extremities and trunk. Skin biopsy of a lesion on the right leg revealed a fibrillar, small-vessel vasculitis containing many eosinophils.Two months later she reported Raynaud symptoms in both hands, with a persistent violaceous coloration of the skin and cold sensation of her third digit of the right hand. A round 1.5 cm well-delimited swelling on the medial site of the left elbow was noted. The third digit of her right hand was cold and of violet colour. Eosinophilia (19 % of total leucocytes) was present. Doppler-duplex arterial examination of the upper extremities showed an occlusion of the cubital artery down to the palmar arcade on the right arm. Selective angiography of the right subclavian and brachial arteries showed diffuse alteration of the blood flow in the cubital artery and hand, with fine collateral circulation in the carpal region. Neither secondary causes of hypereosinophilia nor a myeloproliferative process was found. Considering the skin biopsy results and having excluded other causes of eosinophilia, we assumed the diagnosis of an eosinophilic vasculitis. Treatment with tacrolimus and high dose steroids was started, the latter tapered within 12 months and then stopped, but a dramatic flare-up of the vasculitis with Raynaud phenomenon occurred. A new immunosupressive approach with steroids and methotrexate was then introduced. This case of aggressive eosinophilic vasculitis is difficult to classify into the usual forms of vasculitis and constitutes a therapeutic challenge given the resistance to current immunosuppressive regimens.
