Abstract Background Thumb duplication is one of common anomalies of the hand. Among of Wassel type IV subtypes, type IV-D duplication with a zigzag deformity is most challenging for reconstructing. Several factors may affect the surgical outcomes. This study aimed to present an opening wedge osteotomy at proximal phalangeal neck for treating type IV-D duplication. Methods Data from 14 patients are presented in this study. Eight patients had duplication of the right thumb, and six left thumb. After removal of radial supernumerary thumb, a snug collateral ligament was repaired to correct angular deformity of metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP). Angular deformity of the interphalangeal (IP) joint was corrected by an opening wedge osteotomy at the proximal phalangeal neck. A wedge bone from ablated thumb was grafted to correct the malalignment. IP joint was further stabilized by plication of the ulnar capsule. The relocation of radial part of FPL to the center of distal phalangeal base by use of pull-out suture technique Results After surgery, the angulations of the IP joints and the MCP joints were improved. Bone union was observed in all patients. According to the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand evaluation form, twelve cases were rated good, 2 cases fair. Stability of IP and MCP joints was good in all cases. The active ROM of IP was less in residual thumb than in normal thumb. Small nails were observed in some patients. Conclusions Although the reconstructed thumbs were smaller than normal counterparts, they were aligned and with stable joints. The opening wedge osteotomy at proximal phalangeal neck could improve realignment of IP joint and prevent reoccurrence of deformity over time.

Introduction: To identify the strongest peak load resistance among four mallet finger fracture fixation methods (Kirschner wire, pull-out wire, tension-band wiring and the JuggerKnot™ (Biomet) soft anchor fixation). Methods: Fixation techniques were assigned among 24 specimens from six cadaveric human hands in a randomized block fashion. Peak load resistance was tested at 30°, 45° and 60° of flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint. Results: The mean peak load of tension-band wiring was 67.8 N at 60° of flexion which was most superior. The JuggerKnot™ fixation had mean peak loads of 13.35 N (30°), 22.51 N (45°) and 32.96 N (60°). No complications of implant failure or fragmentation of the dorsal fragment was noted. Conclusions: Tension-band wiring was the strongest fixation method but was most prominent on the skin surface as seen in three specimens. The JuggerKnot™ soft anchor fixation had similar peak load resistance as k-wire fixation and pull-out wiring.

El complejo del fibrocartílago triangular (CFCT) desempeña un papel fundamental en la biomecánica de la muñeca. Actúa absorbiendo y transmitiendo cargas, y sirve como punto de pivote para la rotación del radio y del carpo alrededor del cúbito, por lo que funciona como centro de rotación del antebrazo. Además constituye el principal elemento estabilizador de la articulación radiocubital distal. Estudios histológicos han demostrado que la parte central del CFCT, también denominada disco articular, es avascular, mientras que su periferia está bien vascularizada, por lo que las lesiones de esta porción tienen mayor capacidad de regeneración. Las lesiones del CFCT constituyen una causa primaria de dolor en el lado cubital de la muñeca y de inestabilidad de la articulación radiocubital distal. Su tratamiento ha incluido una serie de medidas conservadoras así como un número variable de técnicas quirúrgicas, entre las que destacan en los últimos años el desbridamiento artroscópico en las lesiones centrales, y la reinserción artroscópica en las lesiones periféricas. Presentamos un estudio retrospectivo sobre los resultados del tratamiento artroscópico de las lesiones periféricas tipo 1B, realizado en 10 pacientes que fueron intervenidos quirúrgicamente en nuestro departamento entre los meses de febrero de 1999 y enero de 2002. Se realizó una reinserción artroscópica mediante técnica dentro-afuera y sutura en pull-out, obteniéndose resultados excelentes en 7 casos, buenos en 2 y malos en 1.The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) plays an important role in the biomechanics of the wrist. It acts by absorbing and transmitting loads, and serves as a pivot point for the rotation of the radiocarpal unit around the ulnar axis, and so it works as a centre of rotation for the forearm. It is also the main stabilising element of the distal radioulnar joint. Histological studies have shown that the central part of the TFCC, also known as the articular disc, is avascular, while its periphery is well vascularised, and so lesions in this section have a greater regeneration ability. TFCC lesions are a primary cause of pain in the ulnar side of the wrist and instability of the distal radioulnar joint. Treatment for this has included a series of conservative measures as well as a variable number of surgical techniques, particularly in recent years arthroscopic debridement in central lesions and athroscopic reinsertion in peripheral lesions. We present a retrospective study of the results of arthroscopic treatment of type 1B lesions, carried out on 10 patients who were operated on in our department between February 1999 and January 2002. Arthroscopic reinsertion was carried out using the internal-external and pull-out suture technique, with excellent results being obtained in 7 cases, good results in 2, and an unfavourable result in 1 case.
