ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Locking of metacarpophalangeal joint (MPJ) of the index finger occurs when volar radial osteophytes of the metacarpal head catch the accessory collateral ligament. We devised a ligament-preserving approach to quickly restore the MPJ motion while protecting the radial collateral ligament. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the results of nine patients treated for a locked MPJ of the index finger. In three patients, closed reduction was successful. In six cases, volar radial osteophytes were excised from the metacarpal head using a ligament-preserving technique through a longitudinal incision on the radial side. We analyzed osteophyte shape and height as demonstrated by X-ray and computed tomography (CT). Function was evaluated by examining the range of motion, recurrence, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, and MPJ stability based on the key pinch strength. One male and eight female patients were followed for an average of 33 months (range, 12 to 65 months); the average age of patients was 41 years (range, 34 to 47 years). The average duration of locking of the MPJ was 23 days (range, 1 to 53 days). RESULTS: The sharp type of osteophytes was identified in six patients and the blunt type of osteophytes was indentified in three patients. The average height of radial osteophytes on the index finger metacarpal was 4.6 +/- 0.4 mm in the axial CT image. At the final follow-up, the average extension limitation decreased from 26degrees (range, 10degrees to 45degrees) to 0degrees, and further flexion increased from 83degrees (range, 80degrees to 90degrees) to 86degrees. There was no recurrent locking after surgery. The DASH score improved from 24.3 to 7.2. Key pinch strength improved from 67.3% to 90.4%. CONCLUSIONS: We obtained satisfactory outcomes in irreducible locking of the MPJ of the index finger by excising volar radial osteophytes of the metacarpal head using a ligament-preserving approach.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study compares the clinical, ultrasonography, radiography, and laboratory outcomes of painless and painful chronic synovitis in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and synovitis in the metacarpophalangeal joints; 30 of the patients did not experience pain, and 30 had experienced pain for at least 6 months prior to the study. The radiocarpal, distal radioulnar, and metacarpophalangeal joints were evaluated using the ultrasound gray scale, power Doppler, and radiography. Past and present clinical and laboratory findings were also evaluated. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups for most of the outcomes. The group with pain scored worse on the disease activity indices (e.g., DAS 28 and SDAI), function questionnaires (HAQ and Cochin), and pinch strength test. A logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of an immunobiological agent was associated with a 3-fold greater chance of belonging to the group that experienced pain. The painless group had worse erosion scores in the second and fifth metacarpophalangeal with odd ratios (ORs) of 6.5 and 3.5, respectively. The painless group had more cartilage with grade 4 damage in the third metacarpophalangeal. CONCLUSIONS: The rheumatoid arthritis patients with both painless and painful synovitis exhibited similar disease histories and radiographic and ultrasound findings. However, the ultrasonography evaluation revealed worse scores in the second and fifth metacarpophalangeal of the synovitis patients who did not experience pain. .

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La artrosis carpo-metacarpiana del pulgar es una patología frecuente, que produce severos déficits en las actividades de la vida diaria. Consideramos que la trapecectomía total simple aún no ha podido ser superada por otras técnicas. Las técnicas artroscópicas han permitido desarrollar la trapecectomía simple intentando ofrecer una mejor calidad de vida en el postoperatorio inmediato. Material y método: se operaron 38 manos entre los años 2001 al 2005. La técnica se realizó con óptica de 2,7 mm, con portales trapecio metacarpianos convencionales (1 R y 1 U) Y ayuda del intensificador de imágenes. La cirugía finalizó con vendaje blando y precozmente se comenzó con la rehabilitación. Resultados: se compararon resultados pre y post-operatorios. Se encontraron mejorías de un 92 por ciento y un 86 por ciento en la fuerza de puño y pinzas respectivamente. Hubo 86 por ciento de resultados excelentes y buenos en términos de dolor usando una escala subjetiva. Conclusiones: la trapecectomía simple sigue siendo válida en el tratamiento de la rizartrosis no complicada. La trapecectomía simple video asistida ofrece una técnica simple, con gran confort post-operatorio y rápido retorno a las actividades de la vida diaria. Diseño del estudio: Serie de casos. Nivel de evidencia: IV.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de movilidad articular limitada se presenta en 30 y 25 por ciento de los enfermos con diabetes mellitus tipo I y II, respectivamente; este síndrome no se diagnostica en forma adecuada y oportuna por el clínico. En su causa se han identificado alteraciones en el metabolismo de la colágena y se ha relacionado con las complicaciones micro y macrovasculares de la diabetes mellitus. La aparición temprana del síndrome de movilidad articular limitada en el paciente diabético es un factor predictivo de alto riesgo para el desarrollo de complicaciones tardías. En el caso que se reporta se describe el cuadro clínico, así como datos radiológicos e histopatológicos que integran este síndrome

ABSTRACT

If the fingers of the claw hand are stabilized in order to prevent over-extension of the metacarpophalangeal joints, the long extensors will fully extend both interphalangeal joints. Based on the proximal interphalangeal stiffness assessed by this test, a simple therapeutic plan is proposed for the choice of the appropriate techniques for palliative claw hand surgery.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un estudio retrospectivo de 17 años de camptodactilia; 14 casos del sexo femenino con 15 dedos. Correspondieron al tipo congénito 12 y dos al adolescente. La deformidad encontrada fue moderada en 12 dedos y severa en tres. A todos se les efectuó la técnica descrita por Millesi en 1968. La valoración de resultados se basó en la clasificación de Cooney en 1991. Se obtuvieron resultados buenos en 14 dedos y pobres en uno, a quien se le hizo liberación del ligamento cápsulo-palmar y alargamiento del flexor produndo. En todos los dedos se encontró anormalidad en la inserción del lumbrical como está descrito en la literatura mundial. Esta deformidad representa un desequilibrio entre las fuerzas palmares flexoras y las fuerzas extensoras dorsales a nivel de la articulación interfalángica proximal del dedo, debido a la pérdida de fuerza de los músculos intrínsecos.

ABSTRACT

Los procesos degenerativos de la articulación basal del pulgar ocasionan problemas funcionales en un gran número de personas. Se presenta una revisión de 14 pacientes con 15 pulgares operados en que se realizó artroplastia de interposición con fascia para tratar la panartrisis del trapecio. Los resultados fueron calificados con base en la fuerza, estabilidad, movilidad y dolor en el pulgar. De los 15 pulgares, 12 tuvieron un resultado excelente y tres, bueno. La artroplastia fascial es una alternativa de tratamiento para estos pacientes, ya que se logra un pulgar estable, fuerte e indoloro, sin los inconvenientes de las artroplastias sintéticas.
