The Stability

We report clinical outcomes in 12 patients with hemi-hamate replacement arthroplasty combined with volar plate arthroplasty. The volar plate was reattached using trans-osseous sutures to reconstruct the ligament-box complex after hamate grafting to augment the stability of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Ten patients had improved joint movement from a mean of 14° before surgery to a mean of 77° at a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Grip strength and pain of the affected hand and patient-rated hand and wrist scores were improved in these 10 patients. Two patients had poor results. One patient developed ankylosis, and one patient had resorption of the grafted bone. We conclude that the augmented hamate replacement arthroplasty is useful in treating chronic proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations. Level of evidence: IV

Fracture Dislocations

Palmar lip injuries of the proximal interphalangeal joint with dorsal fracture-dislocation are difficult to treat and often require major reconstruction. A systematic review was performed and yielded 177 articles. Thirteen articles on hemi-hamate autograft were included in full-text analysis. Results of 71 cases were summarized. Mean follow-up was 36 months and mean proximal interphalangeal joint range of motion was 77°. Overall complication rate was around 35%. Up to 50% of the patients showed radiographic signs of osteoarthritis. However, few of those patients complained about pain or impaired finger motion. Based on this systematic analysis and review, hemi-hamate autograft can be considered reliable for the reconstruction of acute and chronic proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations with joint involvement >50%, but longer-term follow-up studies are required to evaluate its outcome, especially regarding the rate of osteoarthritis.

Shotgun Approach

This study assessed the outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations through a shotgun approach, while keeping hemi-hamate arthroplasty as a back-up plan. After using the shotgun approach, fixation was carried out when the anterior fragment was large enough to accept two 1.5 mm screws. Sixty-three fracture-dislocations were treated in 61 patients, of whom 30 underwent internal fixation. Twenty-one of these were assessed in the final study. At a mean follow-up of 29 months, the mean range of joint motion was 80° and 102° for the injured and contralateral hand, respectively. The mean pinch and grip strengths of injured hand were 82% and 83% of contralateral hand, respectively. The mean disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score was 5.5. The mean visual analogue pain score was 1.6. Surgery through the versatile shotgun approach allows excellent intra-operative assessment and acceptable outcomes. Level of evidence: IV

Fracture Dislocations

We reviewed 20 cases of chronic dorsal fracture-dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint, with a mean follow-up period of 74 months. In patients without comminuted palmar fragments, open reduction and internal fixation or osteotomy of the malunited fragment provided good results. In treating patients with damaged articular cartilage or with comminuted palmar fragments by palmar plate arthroplasty, poor results were obtained because of secondary osteoarthritic changes.

Distal Interphalangeal

We retrospectively compared the results of volar plating and dynamic external fixation for acute unstable dorsal fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint with a depressed fragment. We treated 31 patients (31 fingers), 12 with volar buttress plating and 19 with dynamic external fixation. Follow-up averaged 35 and 40 months in the two groups, with a minimal 6-month follow-up. Average active flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint was 95° after plate fixation and 87° after external fixation, with an active extension lag of –6° and –9°, respectively. Active flexion at the distal interphalangeal joint averaged 67° in the plate group and 58° in the external fixation group, with active extension lags of 0° and –5°, respectively. We conclude that both methods can obtain a good range of motion at the proximal interphalangeal joint. A limitation of the extension of the distal interphalangeal joint occurred with dynamic external fixation but not with volar buttress plating. Level of evidence: IV

Many different surgical techniques have been used to treat unstable dorsal proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations. The authors have used the base of the middle phalanx of the second toe base as an alternative autograft to treat this type of injury. This retrospective study assessed the clinical outcomes of this procedure in 11 patients. Range of motion, grip strength, Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score and donor site morbidity were assessed at regular intervals postoperatively. Nine patients had acute injuries and two had chronic injuries. The mean range of motion in the proximal interphalangeal joint at final review was 65° for patients with acute injuries and 41° for patients with chronic injuries. Other outcomes were satisfactory and there were no complications. Level of evidence: IV

The anatomy and histology of the volar plate at the proximal interphalangeal joint and the mechanism of fracture/subluxation of the base of the middle phalanx in closed proximal interphalangeal joint injuries is reviewed. Our current technique of repair for these injuries and its evolution from Eaton’s original procedure is described. The results of 71 cases of volar plate arthroplasty performed over a five-year period for fracture/subluxations of the proximal interphalangeal joints are presented with follow-up ranging from six months to four years. 62 (87%) patients achieved a stable pain-free joint with a range of motion from 5° to 95° within two months. Complications were uncommon and correctable with an overall eventual patient satisfaction rate of 94%.
