Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the preoperative and postoperative outcomes of surgical treatment for patients who fail to conserve the complete rupture of the collateral ligament in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint.Methods: A complete rupture of the collateral ligament was confirmed by a radiologist using ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging for patients who had symptoms after 4 weeks of conservative treatment. Eleven patients underwent operative collateral ligament repair using an anchor. All patient was followed up for at least 6 months postoperatively. We evaluated clinical outcomes preoperatively and at 6 months follow-up: (1) range of motion of the PIP, (2) joint stability, (3) Visual Analog Scale score, (4) fusiform index of the PIP joint, and (5) functional & cosmetic satisfaction.Results: There was no instability in the lateral stress test at 6-month follow-up. The ranges of motion of the PIP were not statistically different between preoperative and at 6-month follow-up. Patients had less pain but the cosmetic appearance of the PIP joint did not improve. Functional satisfaction differed statistically, but there was no difference in cosmetic satisfaction.Conclusion: Surgical treatment for patients who fail to conserve the complete rupture of the collateral ligament in the PIP joint can provide good joint stability, functional recovery.

The Difference

SummaryThis study compared the areas of cartilage accessible for curettage in arthrodesis of the equine proximal interphalangeal joint using the conventional and collateral ligament sparing approaches. For this purpose, forelimbs and hindlimbs of six equine cadavers without radiographic evidence of proximal interphalangeal joint disease were used. One limb of each pair of limbs was randomly assigned to a dissection using a standard approach to the proximal interphalangeal joint including transection of the collateral ligaments, while each contralateral limb was exposed using the same approach but leaving the collateral ligaments intact. Hohmann retractors and Spratt curettes were then used to remove as much articular cartilage as possible. Finally, proximal interphalangeal joints were photographed and image analysis was performed.Using the collateral ligament sparing procedure, the mean percentage of articular cartilage surface removed (41.2%) was significantly less than using the conventional procedure (79.6%) (p <0.01). The difference between forelimbs and hindlimbs was not significant.

Surgical Release

A method of treatment of chronic flexion contractures of the PIP joint is presented, with the results obtained in 19 patients treated between 1989 and 1992 after a follow-up of from 6 to 53 months. The flexion contractures, with an extension deficit which ranged between 70 and 90°, had been present for a period of between 2 months and 24 years. Our treatment program involves the surgical release of the unreducible PIP joint followed by the use of static and/or dynamic splints. Surgery is performed using a midlateral approach; the accessory collateral ligament and the flexor sheath are incised and, after the volar plate and check-rein ligaments have been excised, forced hyperextension is applied. The main collateral ligaments are carefully spared and freed from the condyle if there are any remaining adhesions. In our 19 patients, complete extension of the finger was achieved in 11 cases (57.9%); in the remaining 8 cases (42.1%) the residual extension deficit ranges from 10 to 15°. In our experience this combined surgical and rehabilitative approach had led to consistently good results with minimal complications.

Lateral Dislocation

We present a rare case of a lateral dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint that required open reduction. During an operation, we found the collateral ligament and the capsule interposing into the joint space. After reducing the soft tissue and reproducing the collateral ligament with a suture anchor, sufficient joint stability and full range of motion was achieved.
