Dorsal Fracture-Dislocations of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint.
Dorsal fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint with or without subsequent instability require a careful initial clinical examination followed by appropriate operative or nonoperative treatment. Attention to detail is crucial in achieving a successful outcome, regardless of the treatment selected. This article outlines the various classification systems available for dorsal f...
متن کاملDorsal proximal interphalangeal joint fracture-dislocations: evaluation and treatment.
Proximal interphalangeal joint injuries are common and often can be treated nonsurgically. Some dorsal fracture-dislocations, however, require special attention or surgical management to optimize outcomes. Treatment options for dorsal proximal interphalangeal fracture-dislocations include splinting, percutaneous pinning, fracture fixation, external fixation devices, volar plate arthroplasty, an...
متن کاملThe stiff proximal interphalangeal joint
One of the major challenges, if not the major challenge, in the management of Dupuytren’s disease is correction of the proximal interphalangeal joint contracture and maintenance of this correction. In 1831 Dupuytren himself [1] recognized the difficulty in straightening the proximal interphalangeal joint. Despite this, much of the early literature focused on Dupuytren’s Disease in the palm [2]....
متن کاملDynamic External Fixation for Unstable Fracture-Dislocations and Pilon Fractures of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint
Injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of the fingers are common. They occur most often following an axial impact on an extended finger. Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint include a wide spectrum of injuries, from stable avulsion fractures to complex fracture-dislocations. Stability of the joint is paramount in determining the appropriate treatment, which should aim ...
متن کاملFracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
Fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint encompass a spectrum of injury severity, ranging from injuries that require little intervention to those that require advanced reconstructive surgery for optimal outcome. Three fracture-dislocation patterns are recognized: dorsal, volar, and pilon. Acceptable outcome is dependent on achieving and maintaining a well-aligned and well-red...
