A 40-year-old patient and a 45-year-old patient presented with chronic dorsal and lateral subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the little finger and underwent surgeries. Through a dorsal approach, the ulnar lateral band was transected and transferred to the radial side through the volar side of the PIP joint. The transferred lateral band and the remnant of the radial collateral ligament were secured with an anchor on the radial side of the proximal phalanx. Satisfactory results were obtained without the loss of flexion and recurrence of subluxation of the finger...

Extraskeletal chondroma comprises synovial chondromatosis, intracapsular chondroma and soft tissue chondroma, its presentation in the hand, however, is very rare. A 42-year-old woman presented with a mass around right fourth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. She had no pain or discomfort in activities. The radiographs showed soft tissue swelling, but no calcification or ossifying lesions. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lobulated juxta-cortical encircling mass existing around the fourth MCP joint...

Background: Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is a frequent observation in children with birth brachial plexus palsy (BBPP) and a common concern among parents. A common assumption is that the LLD decreases if the child is using the involved limb more. However, there is no literature evidence for this assumption. The present study was conducted to assess the correlation between the functional status of the involved limb and the LLD in children with BBPP. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients (age > 5 years) with unilateral BBPP seen at our institute underwent measurements of limb lengths to assess the LLD...

Background: Open reduction and internal fixation with a plate is one of the alternative treatments for fracture-dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. However, it does not always lead to satisfactory results. The aim of this cohort study is to describe the surgical procedure and discuss the factors affecting the treatment results. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 37 cases of consecutive unstable dorsal fracture-dislocation of the PIP joint treated using a mini-plate. The volar fragments were sandwiched with a plate and dorsal cortex, and screws were used as subchondral support...

Background: The carpometacarpal (CMC) joint of the thumb is the second most common site of osteoarthritis in the hand. Clinical severity stage of CMC joint arthritis has not been correlated with the pain level of the patient. Recently, the association of joint pain with patient psychological factor, such as depression or case-specific personality, has been investigated. This study was designed to determine the impact of psychological factors to residual pain after treatment of CMC joint arthritis, using pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) and the Yatabe-Guilford (YG) personality test...

Intraneural ganglia are rare, benign cysts that form within the epineurium of the affected nerve. Patients present with features of compressive neuropathy, including numbness. We report a 74-year-old male patient with pain and numbness on his right thumb of 1-year duration. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion with a possible scaphotrapezium-trapezoid joint connection. The articular branch was not identified during the surgery and decompression with excision of the cyst wall was done. A recurrence of the mass was noted 3 years later, but the patient was asymptomatic and no additional intervention was done...

Osteonecrosis affecting the carpal bones is rare and is mostly seen in the lunate (Kienböck's disease). Osteonecrosis of the scaphoid (Preiser disease) is even rarer. There are only four individual case reports published on patients presenting with trapezium necrosis, none with previous history of corticosteroid injection. This case report is the first presentation of isolated trapezial necrosis in the setting of prior corticosteroid injection for thumb basilar arthritis. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic)...

Background: There are numerous flaps described for the treatment of fingertip amputation. Most flaps do not address the shortened nail resulting from amputation. Proximal nail fold (PNF) recession is a simple procedure that exposes the hidden portion of the nail and improves the aesthetic appearance of an amputated fingertip. The aim of this study is to measure the size and aesthetic outcomes of the nail following fingertip amputation in patients treated with PNF recession compared to those treated without PNF recession...

Closed rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon causes loss of flexion at the distal interphalangeal joint. Following trauma, these are known to present as avulsion fractures (Jersey finger) commonly in ring fingers. Traumatic tendon ruptures at the other flexor zones are seldom noted and are often missed. In this report, we present a rare case of closed traumatic tendon rupture of the long finger FDP at zone 2. Though it was missed initially, was confirmed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and underwent successful reconstruction using an ipsilateral palmaris longus graft...

Intraosseous schwannomas are extremely rare and only a few cases involving the proximal phalanx and metacarpal of the hand have been reported. We report a patient with an intraosseous schwannoma of the distal phalanx. Radiographs showed lytic lesions in the bony cortex and enlarged soft shadows of the distal phalanx. The lesion was hyperintense to fat on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and strongly enhanced after gadolinium (Gd) administration. Surgical findings revealed that the tumour had developed from the palmar side of the distal phalanx and the medullary cavity was filled with a yellow tumour...
