The Trapezium Dislocation: Case Presentation, Review of the Literature, Radiographic Analysis, Proposed Classification, and Treatment.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Trapezium dislocations are rare injuries. METHODS:A PubMed search of the term "trapezium dislocation" was conducted. Publications reporting a complete trapezium dislocation were included in the review. RESULTS:The PubMed search resulted in 168 results. Fourteen publications reporting on 16 complete trapezium dislocations met inclusion criteria. A case of delayed diagnosis of a trapezium dislocation is presented. The literature is reviewed for pertinent clinically relevant information with respect to trapezium dislocations. A systematic method for radiographic analysis of trapezium dislocations and classification are described, and a treatment algorithm is presented. CONCLUSIONS:Trapezium dislocations are infrequent injuries with few cases reported in the literature. Given the rarity of this injury, diagnosis and appropriate treatment may be delayed due to difficulty in recognition. Using the described method of radiographic analysis, delayed diagnosis may be avoided with implementation of timely treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveTo provide a proof-of-concept study demonstrating that the decades old procedure of cryoneurotomy, used traditionally for analgesia, is a safe adjunctive and effective treatment for limb spasticity.DesignCase series.SettingPublicly funded outpatient hospital spasticity clinic and community interventional anesthesia clinic.ParticipantsPatients (N=3) who had plateaued with standard of care spasticity treatments including botulinum toxin. Two hemiplegic stroke patients with elbow spasticity and 1 pregnant patient with multiple sclerosis and a spastic equinovarus foot for whom botulinum toxin was now contraindicated.InterventionsSelective anesthetic diagnostic motor nerve blocks with ultrasound and e-stimulation with 1cc of 1% lidocaine to the motor nerve to the targeted spastic muscle were performed to either the musculocutaneous nerve to brachialis, radial nerve to the brachioradialis or the tibial nerve. If the benefits included improved active and passive range motion and or decreased clonus, a percutaneous cryoneurotomy was performed.Main outcome measuresActive and passive range of motion were measured using the Modified Tardieu Scale. The change in resistance to passive stretch was measured using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Videos of the before and after treatment were collected.ResultsBoth elbows' treatments resulted in MAS improving from a 3 to a 1+. Greatly improved active range of motion was noted at 94 and 64 degrees, respectively, as well as improvements in passive range on the Modified Tardieu Scale. The tibial nerve cryoneurotomy resulted in improvements in all parameters with a much improved gait. Results were maintained up to 17 months of follow-up.ConclusionCryoneurotomy as a treatment for spasticity is a novel safe adjuvant treatment. Our initial results suggest patients can achieve significantly increased active and passive range of motion in the upper extremity and decreased clonus, and improved gait after tibial nerve cryoneurotomy.
