RESUMO

Metal hypersensitivity is a rare and often underestimated complication, as shown by the small number of published studies, particularly concerning the upper limbs and the hand. However, the increase in the annual number of trapeziometacarpal arthroplasties underlines the importance of better understanding of this problem. We performed a study based on data from the revision of trapeziometacarpal prostheses to assess the incidence of this complication and to define a sequence of radiological changes to detect metal hypersensitivity. This single-center retrospective study included 37 patients operated on between January 2014 and November 2023 for revision of trapeziometacarpal prosthesis. Ten (27%) had no clearly identified cause of failure. For these 10 patients, we analyzed clinical data and postoperative X-rays. In the 11 revision arthroplasties, 2 patients had no symptoms or radiographic signs suggestive of allergy. Six patients had a-posteriori diagnosis established by allergy testing, which also identified 2 additional patients, for a total of 8 patients (21% of the initial cohort). In these cases, there was systematic metaphyseal osteolysis of the first metacarpal between 15 days and 1 month after implantation. Clinically, most patients had an asymptomatic period of 2 weeks to 1 month before onset of symptoms and osteolysis, often accompanied by local inflammation. This study found a reproducible pattern of progression, characterized by the appearance of radiographic signs of osteolysis in the first month, followed by clinical deterioration. Although this course is strongly suggestive of a metal hypersensitivity, it is crucial not to exclude the possibility of an infectious cause, which should always be considered.

RESUMO

Trigger finger is a common condition. Surgery most frequently involves opening the A0 and A1 pulleys. However, this shows limited effectiveness in correcting proximal interphalangeal joint fixed flexion deformity. The present study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between two surgical techniques for trigger finger treatment. This retrospective study included 127 patients, 72 of whom underwent resection of the ulnar slip of the flexor superficialis, and 55 underwent opening of the pulleys. Study data comprised patient characteristics, range of motion, proximal interphalangeal fixed flexion deformity measurement, Quick-DASH and PRWE scores, and overall satisfaction. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of Quick-DASH or PRWE scores. Fixed flexion deformity correction was slightly but not significantly better with resection of the ulnar slip of the flexor superficialis (100%) compared to opening of the pulleys (88%). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: : Level IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Nicotine addiction is a public health problem. Our hypothesis was that the degree of nicotine dependence is positively correlated with the perceived intensity of acute pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center prospective comparative observational study was conducted from 2019 to 2021. Patients included presented distal phalanx extra-articular trauma of less than 24hours' progression. We compared a group of smokers with a group of non-smokers. A Digital Pain Scale (DPS) was assessed at time of trauma, at first consultation, and once a day until the fifth day post-trauma. A Fagerström test was performed. The primary endpoints were the correlation between dependence and DPS and the correlation between the amount of tobacco consumed and DPS. The secondary endpoints were analgesic consumption according to Fagerström, DPS and tobacco consumption. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients were included: 26 smokers, 41 non-smokers. No significant correlation was found between dependence level or amount of tobacco used and DPS. Consumption of level II analgesics was significantly 2-fold higher in the smoking group on the second, third and fifth day: respectively, 2.15 tablets versus 1.22 (p=0.02), 1.27 versus 0.49 (p=0.01), and 0.69 versus 0.20 (p=0.04). CONCLUSION: Patients who smoke are exposed to more frequent and more intense pain and consume more palliative painkillers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IIB; exposed vs. non-exposed cohort.

RESUMO

The management of septic arthritis of the hand is poorly described and there is no consensus. It is based on how septic arthritis of the large joints is managed, despite certain specificities related to the hand, typically involving inpatient management and intravenous antibiotic therapy. The primary objective of this work was to evaluate our postoperative protocol for the management of septic arthritis of the hand with short-term antibiotic therapy. The secondary objective was to determine the risk factors for treatment failure. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive, single-center study and analyzed the medical records of patients managed for septic arthritis of the fingers over a 1-year period from January 2018 to December 2018. We collected patient demographics and all pre-, intra-, and postoperative data. A total of 128 patients were included. The median age was 52.4 years (41-66). An exogenous source of contamination was reported in 98% of cases (animal bite, plant thorn, wound, cyst trituration, etc.). The most frequently isolated microorganism was Staphylococcus aureus (45%), followed by Streptococcus spp. (22%) and Pasteurella spp. (18%). The vast majority of patients (79%) were treated with oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. This treatment was continued in 91% of patients after microbiological results were obtained for a median treatment duration of 8 days (7-15). Nine percent of patients failed treatment. The risk factors identified were crush wounds (p = 0.04), initial radiological abnormalities (chondrolysis and/or osteolysis) (p = 0.016) and infection with Pasteurella spp. (p = 0.015). Our study suggests that simplified antibiotic therapy is feasible for the management of septic arthritis of the hand with short duration, broad spectrum oral antibiotics in the absence of identified risk factors.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: One of the causes of scapular dyskinesia is the retraction of the pectoralis minor muscle. It can be the cause of shoulder pain associated with increased anterior tilt and internal rotation of the shoulder. HYPOTHESIS: Arthroscopic release of the pectoralis minor tendon is effective for shoulder pain, linked to a correction of dyskinesia, resulting in the early disappearance of scapulalgia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective, monocentric, single-surgeon study on a continuous series of patients with symptomatic shoulder pain, related to subacromial impingement associated with scapular dyskinesia. The series underwent arthroscopic tenotomies of the pectoralis minor between January 2015 and September 2018. Fifty-eight releases were performed to 57 patients (22 males, 35 females), with a mean age of 51.4 years (29-66 years). In all cases, they presented pain on palpation of the upper bundle of the trapezius muscle, and on palpation of the coracoid insertion of the pectoralis minor. RESULTS: Preoperatively, there were 30 cases of stage 1 scapular dyskinesia and 28 cases of stage 2, with a scapular index measured at 53.84 (41.66-65.78), while the constant score was 41.46 (19-59). Upper trapezius pain was present in 87.7% of cases. The 57 patients were clinically assessed, with a mean follow-up of 8.9 months (6-24 months). Post-operatively, 15 cases (25.8%) of scapulalgia persisted at 2 months of follow-up, while upper trapezius pain was present in only 22.4%. Scapular dyskinesia was no longer present at 2 months in patients without scapulalgia. The scapular index was measured at 60.42 (52.38-70.96), and the constant score at last follow-up was 76.36 (42-92). CONCLUSION: Tenotomy of the pectoralis minor improves painful symptomatology and scapular dyskinesia, in cases of subacromial syndrome with retraction of the pectoralis minor muscle. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In France, microsurgery is taught in University diploma courses, for a mean 100hours (range, 45-120hours) extending over several months. This training, spread over the year, encounters problems of maintaining high-quality supervision and enduring acquisition of skills. These difficulties risk leading to withdrawal of certain courses, already suffering from funding issues and administrative requirements for animal welfare. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We report our experience with a 2-week module comprising nine 4-hour sessions (total, 36hours), with continuous supervision of 5 students in each of 2 groups (10 students), enabling personalized learning. At the end of each session, an assessment questionnaire was filled out by teachers and students. RESULTS: Students' scores increased from a mean 23.9/30 points (range, 20 - 30) at session 3 to 26.9 points (range, 23 - 30) at session 9 (p=0.012). At the end of session 3, students were grouped as good, average or beginners, based on the first assessments: i.e., with differences in level between groups at session 3. At the end of session 9, all 3 groups showed statistically comparable levels. Comparison between student and teacher questionnaire responses showed a significant discrepancy in 7 of the 10 cases in week 1, and no significant discrepancy in 7 of the 10 cases by the end of week 2. DISCUSSION: The efficacy of condensed learning is based on immediate repetition of exercises, following Ebbinghaus: without repetition, memory decays exponentially, whereas if the information is rapidly repeated, the curve flattens and memory is consolidated. The present rapid improvement in the acquisition of the principles of microsurgery stimulated the enthusiasm of both students and teachers for what is reputed to be a demanding type of training. The study showed that acquisition, assessed in terms of vascular suture reliability, was achieved by the end of a 36-hour module, regardless of the student's baseline level.

RESUMO

In this retrospective study, we report a series of 80 Arpe prostheses for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis in 63 patients. Twenty-seven prostheses (20 patients) were lost to follow-up. Twenty-one were revised, eight of them during the first year after operation. The calculated cumulated implant survival rate was 85% at 10 years but could be lower due to the lack of information on the patients lost to follow-up. The number of complications due to technical errors was high; but after we had done 30 cases, the number of early revisions decreased markedly. At follow-up, 23 of 32 thumbs were totally free of pain, and the patients were satisfied with 31 thumbs. We conclude that the implant survival declines progressively in the long run, with a survival rate of 80% after 15 years of follow-up and a further decline thereafter. We also found that this surgery was difficult to master. We advise selecting this implant for thumb trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis with caution. Level of evidence: IV.
