Melorheostosis of the index finger: a case report

Extraskeletal chondroma is defined as a rare, benign, cartilaginous tumor arising from soft tissues such as tendons, tendon sheath synovia, and joint capsules with no continuity to the periosteum or bone cortex. In histopathologic findings, the tumor exhibits many lobular structures and some parts similar to hyaline cartilage. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate this tumor from low-grade chondrosarcoma because of their similar histopathologic findings. In order to prevent recurrence, it is necessary to remove the tumor as a whole, including the capsule, so as not to leave any remnants of the tumor. In this article, we report our treatment experience with a case of extraskeletal chondroma in the index finger of a 63-year-old patient.

We report a case of rotatory subluxation of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) of the finger. A 40-year-old man sustained an open injury to his index finger following an explosive injury. Radiographs showed rotatory subluxation of the index finger MCPJ. The index finger extensor digitorium was found interposed in the MCPJ, with a complete tear of the radial collateral ligament. Treatment was by open reduction and repair of the collateral ligament and the extensor tendon. A high level of clinical suspicion is needed to diagnose this entity.

Microvascular Replantation

Microvascular replantation in not always feasible for distal finger amputations. Our work presents a case of 23-year-old woman who suffered an amputation of index finger at the level of nail base. She was disqualified from microvascular replantation, however, the cooperation with Replantation Service resulted in an uncommon method of treatment, which resulted in excellent functional and aesthetic outcome. Composite grafting for fingertip amputations is a unique procedure which enables preserving original tissue with its function. We consider composite grafting to be a valuable adjunct to the wide range of methods for treating distal finger amputiations.
