Abstract Lameness is a serious health concern for livestock species. Understanding individual animal response to pain and characterization of lameness are critical when developing appropriate treatments. The objectives of this pilot study was to evaluate two different lameness models and measures for determining response to induced lameness in meat goats. Lameness was induced by intraarticular injection into the left hind lateral claw distal interphalangeal joint with either amphotericin B (Amp-B) or kaolin-carrageenan (K-C). Response to lameness was characterized by behavior scoring, visual lameness scoring (VLS), infrared thermography (IRT) of the affected digit, pressure mat gait analysis (PMT), and plasma cortisol (CORT) analysis. Lame goats had higher VLS compared to controls (P = 0.003). Maximum temperatures measured in hooves from lame vs control goats were significantly higher (P = 0.003). Pressure mat analysis demonstrated, when compared to controls, lame goats had decreased force (P = 0.013), impulse (P = 0.007), contact pressure (P = 0.007), and contact area of the left hind limb (P = 0.009). Mean CORT levels 4 and 6 h after lameness induction were higher in lame goats (P = 0.005, P = 0.01). The two lameness methods reliably induced lameness of varying severity in healthy meat goats.

We retrospectively compared the results of volar plating and dynamic external fixation for acute unstable dorsal fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint with a depressed fragment. We treated 31 patients (31 fingers), 12 with volar buttress plating and 19 with dynamic external fixation. Follow-up averaged 35 and 40 months in the two groups, with a minimal 6-month follow-up. Average active flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint was 95° after plate fixation and 87° after external fixation, with an active extension lag of –6° and –9°, respectively. Active flexion at the distal interphalangeal joint averaged 67° in the plate group and 58° in the external fixation group, with active extension lags of 0° and –5°, respectively. We conclude that both methods can obtain a good range of motion at the proximal interphalangeal joint. A limitation of the extension of the distal interphalangeal joint occurred with dynamic external fixation but not with volar buttress plating. Level of evidence: IV

Success with the uncommonly recognized technique of nonoperative management of fingertip amputations in children has prompted presentation of four cases so treated in our institution. Previously, fingertips amputated distal to the distal interphalangeal joint have been observed to regenerate in children under 12 years of age.1,2 MATERIAL Our patients were 1, 2, 4, and 9 years old. They had injured the thumb, middle, index, and small fingers, respectively. The levels of amputation are seen in Fig 1. Three injuries transsected the distal bone. All cases were evaluated for extent of injury and chosen for nonoperative therapy (Fig 2). The wounds were cleansed with antiseptic solution and dressed with fine mesh absorbent gauze impregnated with bismuth tribromophenate 3% in petrolatum blend (Xeroform) and sterile gauze bandage. To encourage mobility, no splints were used. Dressings were changed one week after injury and bi-weekly thereafter. All children were free of pain within 24 hours after treatment. Healing began at three weeks and was completed 12 weeks after injury. Good cosmetic and functional result with regeneration of the fingertip including nail was observed in each case (Fig 3). DISCUSSION Douglas1 and Illingworth2 were among the early proponents of the nonsurgical management of children's fingertip injuries. Despite their well-documented success with this treatment, it is not widely practiced. Many3-5 continue to advocate reimplantation of the amputated tip, suture closure, or skin graft and flap application to the amputated stump. However, these techniques should be reserved for injuries to the proximal two phalanges or for disarticulation injuries where regeneration is not seen.

Reconstructive Technique

Postburn nailfold retraction often results in nail deformity and loss of distal interphalangeal joint flexion. A technique of reconstruction of the nailfold using a proximally based transposition flap is described in a patient with postburn nailfold retraction of the left thumb, index and middle fingers.
