Access to the proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger for arthroplasty is difficult without detaching its stabilizers or dividing the tendons that cross it, which then require repair and slow rehabilitation. We describe a method that conserves both, so facilitating post-operative rehabilitation. A C-shaped incision is made on the dorsum of the finger. The lateral bands of the extensor expansion are separated from the central slip proximally to the extensor hood. They are then retracted to expose the condyles of the proximal phalanx, which are excised. The PIP joint is then dislocated between the central slip and a lateral band allowing the remainder of the head to be excised. The middle and proximal phalanges are then prepared to accept the prosthesis. The prosthesis is then inserted and the joint is reduced. The lateral bands of the extensor mechanism are sutured back to the central slip before the skin is closed.

Swan Neck Deformity

Disappointment with the late results of intrinsic release for the rheumatoid “intrinsic-plus” hand has led to a re-appraisal of the role of intrinsic muscle contracture in the pathogenesis of the rheumatoid swan neck deformity. In cadaveric fingers, a properly placed suture tying the lateral band to the middle slip insertion causes a swan neck deformity. It is suggested that the usual “intrinsic-plus” hand and the fixed swan neck deformity of rheumatoid arthritis is caused by adhesions between the extensor tendons on the dorsum of the proximal interphalangeal joint, rather than by intrinsic muscle contracture and/or metacarpo-phalangeal dislocation.

Swan Neck Deformity

A previously undescribed lesion of Dupuytren’s disease is presented. An oblique cord coursed parallel to the oblique retinacular ligament of Landsmeer, but inserted proximal to the proximal interphalangeal joint, tethering the central slip and radial lateral band across the intervening transverse retinacular ligament. Contraction of this cord caused a rigid swan-neck deformity. Excision of the cord resulted in complete resolution of the deformity and a full range of motion in the affected digit.

This review describes the different possibilities for arthroplasties at the proximal interphalangeal joint, thumb carpometacarpal joint, distal radioulnar joint, metacarpophalangeal joint and the wrist. For each joint, the indication for arthroplasty is explained, the surgical technique with the suitable implant is described and a brief summary of the outcomes reported in the literature is given.

Introduction Trigger finger is a common and functionally limiting disorder. Finger immobilization using an orthotic device is one of the conservative treatment options for treating this condition. The most common orthosis previously described for trigger finger is metacarpophalangeal joint immobilization. There are limited studies describing the effectiveness of proximal interphalangeal joint orthosis for treatment of trigger finger. Methods This study was a single group pretest-posttest design. Adult patients with single digit idiopathic trigger finger were recruited and asked to wear a full-time orthoses for 6 weeks. The pre- and post-outcome measures included Quick-DASH score, the Stages of Stenosing Tenosynovitis (SST), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, the number of triggering events in ten active fists, and participant satisfaction with symptom improvement. Orthotic devices were made with thermoplastic material fabricated with adjustable Velcro tape at dorsal side. All participants were given written handouts on this disease, orthotic care and gliding exercises. Paired t-tests were used to determine changes in outcome measures before and after wearing the orthosis. Results There were 30 participants included in this study. Evaluation after the use of PIP joint orthosis at 6 weeks revealed that there were statistically significant improvements in Quick-DASH score from enrolment (mean difference −29.0 (95%CI −34.5 to −23.4); p < 0.001), SST (mean difference −1.4 (95%CI −1.8 to −1.0); p < 0.001) and VAS (mean difference −3.4 (95%CI −4.3 to −2.5); p < 0.001). There were no serious adverse events and patient satisfaction with the treatment was high. Conclusions Despite our small study size, the use of proximal interphalangeal joint orthosis for 6 weeks resulted in statistically significant improvements in function, pain and triggering, and also high rates of acceptance in patients with isolated idiopathic trigger finger.
