Project description:Dorsal boss of the foot also known as "tarsal boss," "dorsal exostosis," and "humped bone" is a bone spur that grows from one of the intertarsal or tarsometatarsal joints. It can occur with or without arthritis of the underlying joints. Surgery is indicated if the symptoms do not respond to conservative treatment. Excision of the dorsal boss with or without fusion of the underlying joint is the operative treatment of choice. We report an arthroscopic approach of resection of the dorsal exostosis. Arthroscopic arthrodesis if indicated can be performed through the same portals.

Project description:PurposeThe objective was to measure the intraoperative load tolerance of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint after trapeziectomy, tendon suspension, and interposition.MethodsIn this single-center prospective study, preoperative pinch grip, thumb mobility, and hypermobility of the thumb CMC joint were determined by 2 hand surgeons. Patients completed the brief Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire. During surgery and upon removal of the trapezium, the surgeon subjectively rated the degree of thumb CMC load tolerance as "stable," "medium stable," or "unstable." A measurement system with an integrated force sensor was used to measure intraoperative thumb CMC load tolerance. The thumb ray was displaced manually by 10 mm toward the scaphoid, and the counteracting force was measured over the entire displacement. The objective load tolerance was determined as the maximal measured force after trapezium resection, tendon suspension, and interposition. Analysis of variance was used to test for the differences in load tolerance between the surgical steps. Spearman's coefficient was used to find correlations between load tolerance and clinical or patient-reported variables.ResultsTwenty-nine patients with a mean age of 70 years (SD, 8.1 years) were available for analysis. The measured intraoperative load tolerance after trapeziectomy was 15.5 N (SD, 5.4 N) and significantly increased to 18.7 N (SD, 5.5 N) after suspension. Load tolerance only slightly increased after tendon interposition, increasing the force to 20.3 N (SD, 6.7 N). Neither the surgeon's subjective stability rating nor the clinical or patient-reported variables correlated with the measured load tolerance after trapeziectomy.ConclusionsOur results show that tendon suspension leads to the highest increase in thumb CMC load tolerance during resection-suspension-interposition arthroplasty.Clinical relevanceTendon suspension appears to be the most important step in stabilizing the metacarpal base after trapeziectomy, whereas tendon interposition does not seem to have a relevant additional effect regarding load tolerance, at least immediately after surgery.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Herein we present a rare case of multiple second to fifth carpometacarpal joint fracture-dislocations. It is important in such cases to be aware of a high-velocity impact etiology of the fractures, which will ensure proper imaging, diagnosis and treatment.Case presentationA 34-year-old male presented with severe pain in his left hand following a motorcycle accident. He was diagnosed as multiple second to fifth carpometacarpal joint fracture-dislocations. He was successfully treated with closed reduction with multiple Kirshner wires fixation under general anesthesia. A one-year follow up confirmed excellent clinical results.Clinical discussionThere are various surgical options including casting, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP), and open reduction internal fixation, however, the optimal treatment is still controversial. The closed reduction is recommended in all CMC joint dislocations. Adding a K-wire fixation can create a secure fixation and achieve an excellent outcome.ConclusionMultiple carpometacarpal joint fracture-dislocations is a very rare injury. Careful clinical examination is important for an accurate diagnosis and plain radiographic studies are necessary. Standard fracture dislocation treatment can be used. Simple closed reduction with the K-wires fixation technique is easy to perform and in our case achieved successful treatment in terms of clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Project description:Peroneal tenosynovitis usually responds to conservative therapy. Early diagnosis and management are imperative because improper or delayed diagnosis and treatment of peroneal tenosynovitis may lead to progression of the tenosynovitis to peroneal tendon rupture, ultimately limiting the benefit of nonoperative treatment. For refractory cases, endoscopic tenosynovectomy is indicated. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report a minimally invasive approach to perform a synovectomy of zones 1 and 2 of the peroneal tendon sheath.

Project description:Background and purposeThumb carpometacarpal (TCMC) osteoarthritis is a common condition that causes pain and functional limitations. We compared the outcomes of 2 surgical procedures for TCMC osteoarthritis, the Epping resection-suspension arthroplasty and the double-mobility TCMC prosthesis, and focused on pain relief, functional outcomes, and patient quality of life.Patients and methodsOver a 7-year period a randomized controlled trial including 183 cases of TCMC osteoarthritis was conducted comparing a double mobility TCMC prosthesis (Moovis, Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) with the Epping resection-suspension arthroplasty. Pre- and postoperative examinations included the range of motion (ROM), SFMcGill score, visual analogue scale (VAS), the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (DASH), and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS).ResultsAt the 6-week postoperative follow-up, significant differences were found in VAS: Epping median 4.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.0-5.0) vs. TCMC prosthesis 2.0 (IQR 0.25-4.0), p = 0.03, effect size (area under the curve [AUC]) 0.64 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55-0.73), in DASH score: Epping 61 (IQR 43-75) vs. TCMC prosthesis 45 (IQR 29-57), p < 0.001, AUC 0.69 (CI 0.61- 0.78), and in radial abduction: Epping 55 (IQR 50-60) vs. TCMC prosthesis 62 (IQR 60-70), p = 0.001, AUC 0.70 (CI 0.61-0.79). No significant group differences were found at the 6- and 12-months follow-up. During the follow-up period, 3 of 82 prostheses had to be revised but there was no revision in the Epping group.ConclusionThe double mobility TCMC prosthesis had superior outcomes compared with the Epping procedure at 6 weeks; however, there were no significant differences in outcomes at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. The implant survival rate of 96% after 12 months was acceptable.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The female predominance in thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthritis has led to speculation that reproductive hormones or hypermobility are responsible. Evidence shows that patients with pathologic laxity have a higher rate of thumb CMC arthritis. Relaxin hormone increases laxity in the pelvic ligaments through upregulation of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). It is thus a hormone of interest in the development of thumb CMC arthritis. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: Our goals were to identify demographic and hormonal factors associated with joint laxity in patients with CMC arthritis and to evaluate the relationship among serum relaxin, relaxin receptors, and MMPs in the anterior oblique ligament (AOL) of the thumb. We hypothesized that serum relaxin was correlated with joint laxity as well as with relaxin receptors and MMPs in the AOL. METHODS: Forty-nine patients undergoing thumb CMC arthroplasty underwent laxity examination, blood draw, and AOL sampling. Ligaments were analyzed for relaxin receptor and MMPs 1 and 3 using quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Women demonstrated more joint laxity than men (p < 0.001). RNA analysis confirmed relaxin receptors in the AOL as well as MMPs 1 and 3. There was a significant correlation between serum relaxin and MMP-1 (p = 0.04). Detectable serum relaxin was negatively correlated with relaxin receptors in the AOL (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of laxity and sex hormones in thumb CMC arthritis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Relaxin hormone may play a role in the development of arthritis at the thumb CMC joint. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, prognostic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Project description:Background Fifth-carpometacarpal (CMC)-joint fractures and dislocations can produce carpometacarpal joint arthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of arthroplasty for fifth carpometacarpal joint arthritis. Material and Methods A series of six patients who had symptomatic advanced fifth-CMC arthritis and had failed to respond to conservative treatment. All patients underwent Dupert's technique of fifth-CMC arthroplasty with a mean follow-up of 17.6 months. Results were reviewed clinically and radiographically. Results Union between the fourth and fifth metacarpals was observed at an average of 6.2 weeks after surgery. Grip strength improved. Range of motion (ROM) of the fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and the fifth metacarpal height remained unchanged. Visual analog scale (VAS) results improved significantly. Conclusion Despite the medium-term follow-up and small number of patients, our results suggest fifth-CMC arthroplasty with arthrodesis of the fourth and fifth metacarpal bases may be a reliable procedure for fifth-CMC arthritis.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint is a common condition. Various management options and surgical procedures have been described to treat symptomatic cases. Many systematic reviews examine aspects of thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis treatment, although none solely examines the outcomes of trapezial partial resection and interposition arthroplasty in stage II to III patients in detail, yet this technique is of growing interest as surgeons seek more nuanced, tailored approaches for osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint.MethodsA systematic review of the thumb carpometacarpal joint hemiresection and interposition arthroplasty was performed with pain assessment as a primary outcome measure and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and reoperation rate as secondary outcome measures. A search was performed between 2004 and 2019 using MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed. Preferred Reporting Items and Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used.ResultsTwenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final review. Pain relief and improved PROMs were described in all the articles using this technique with all the interposition materials. Materials such as polyurethane urea matrix and poly-l/d-lactide scaffold had higher complication rates. Revision rates varied and were highest with the polyurethane urea matrix.ConclusionsThis review shows that hemiresection interposition arthroplasty is a useful technique and provides symptomatic benefit in patients with Eaton-Littler stage II and III osteoarthritis. Revision surgery rates due to persistent pain and instability were higher with the use of implants. Larger and long-term studies of this technique using autologous or more bioinert materials and implants are required to assess duration of symptomatic benefit.

Project description:Synovitis of the ulnar bursa is associated with tenosynovitis of the flexor tendons. Reported causes include suppurative or tuberculous infection, rheumatoid arthritis, and pigmented villonodular synovitis. Open synovectomy requires extensive soft-tissue dissection and may result in extensive scarring. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of endoscopic synovectomy of the ulnar bursa of the palm of the hand. This minimally invasive approach with small incisions allows aggressive postoperative hand therapy and avoids the complications of tendon adhesions, joint contractures, and hand stiffness.
