Abstract Introduction Onycholysis is a chronic nail disorder characterised by the progressive separation of the nail plate from the underlying nail bed. Apart from causing pain and discomfort, it affects the quality of life of an individual due to its visualised cosmetic appearance. Case Summary A 45-year-old female presented with complete loss of nail plate of the left middle finger for 1 month. At the first visit, homoeopathic medicine Tuberculinum bovinum was prescribed and the patient was followed up periodically for 4 months. A series of photographs captured at the first visit and in subsequent visits objectively document the gradual regrowth of her nail plate. Various aspects of her subjective improvement were documented by three validated outcome measurement scales. The patient herself assessed that, after 4 months of follow-up, she is ‘back to normal’ for her main complaint as well as for the overall well-being, which is documented as a +4 score in ‘Outcome in Relation to Impact on Daily Living’ (ORIDL) scale. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score was reduced from 20 at the first visit to 1 after 4 months of treatment. Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) score recorded at the final visit (+8 in ‘-6 to +13’ scale) is suggestive of a high likelihood that the improvement in the patient can be attributed to the homoeopathic treatment provided. Conclusion This clinical case report is presented here to critically document the effect of individualised homoeopathic treatment in onycholysis within a plausible timeframe.

This is a case report of a "non-venomous" snake bite in a herpetologist observed at the Sciences Faculty of the Universidad de los Andes (Mérida, Venezuela). The patient was bitten on the middle finger of the left hand, and shows signs of pronounced local manifestations of envenomation such as bleeding from the tooth imprint, swelling and warmth. He was treated with local care, analgesics, and steroids. He was dismissed from the hospital and observed at home during five days with marked improvement of envenomation. The snake was brought to the medical consult and identified as a Thamnodynastes cf. pallidus specimen. This report represents the first T. pallidus accident described in a human.

Well Differentiated

A liposarcoma is extremely rare in the digits. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed with a lipoma in her middle finger 10 years ago. As this tumor increased in size and presented with imaging findings that were atypical of lipomas, careful marginal resection biopsy outside the pseudo-capsule was performed, and the tumor was diagnosed as a well-differentiated liposarcoma. At the 5-year follow-up, the patient showed no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis, with no loss of hand function. The findings from this case suggest that even for a lipomatous tumor in the digits, further imaging examination and resection biopsy should be considered if the tumor presents with features that are atypical of lipomas.

Plum Tree

This is a case of plant thorn synovitis of the hand in an adult following a plum tree thorn injury, the first reported case in the hands in the past decade. The patient initially presented with persistent joint discomfort following removal of a retained plum thorn fragment from the skin overlyin the proximal interphalangeal joint of the left middle finger. Initial radiography and sonography imaging following the removal revealed no foreign bodies. However, the patient’s symptoms were worsening and refractory to anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment. An exploratory surgery was carried out, which revealed multiple plant thorn fragments within the synovium, each measuring approximately 1 mm in size. A synovectomy was performed and the patient recovered with full function. Our case of plant thorn synovitis is discussed along with a review of the current literature on plant thorn synovitis in the hands.

A case of heterotopic ossification developed after traumatic laceration of the middle finger. It is extremely rare for heterotopic ossification to locate in the finger. The diagnosis was accomplished with plain radiographs as well as with MRI and confirmatory study with histopathological microscopic examination which demonstrated nubbin of bone surrounded by fibrovascular connective tissue, and the marrow was predominantly fatty with prominent ectatic vessels and patchy mild lymphocytic infiltrate and gross appearance of partly calcified bony tissue.

We report a rare case of open dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint which needed operative reduction. A 39-year-old man injured his right middle finger while playing baseball. There was a laceration on the proximal interphalangeal crease, and the condyles of the proximal phalanx protruded through the wound. The flexor tendons had slipped behind the radial condyle, and made reduction impossible. After the flexor tendons and volar plate were replaced back into their normal position, the reduction was successful. Finally, the patient had full and painless motion of the digit. We review the reported cases of this injury in the relevant literature.
