Fracture of the middle phalanx after palmar digital neurectomy

Comparison of Current Techniques for Palmar Digital Neurectomy in Horses

Posterior digital neurectomy by the guillotine technique resulted in longer duration of cutaneous desensitization of the heels and less neuroma formation compared with perineural capping, CO2 laser coagulation, or CO2 laser transection techniques.

Evaluation of Palmar Digital Nerve Block and Distal Interphalangeal Joint Analgesia in Lame Horses Associated with Hoof Pain due to Sidebone Fracture

Objective- To determine if the pain of the third phalanx due to sidebone fracture in horses can be attenuated by analgesia of the distal interphlangeal joint and palmar digital nerve block. Design- Clinical study. Animals- Seven horses with unilateral forelimb lameness associated with hoof pain due to sidebone fracture. Procedures- Seven mix breed show jumping horses were selected from hor...

Juxta-epiphysial Fracture of the Terminal Phalanx

The purpose of this paper is to lay stress upon an injury which, although not uncommon, seems to be inadequately described. Consequently it is often improperly treated. In Bunnell (1964) there is an illustration of displaced epiphysis of the distal phalanx, but in treatment no differentiation is made from the more common open crushing injury. Watson-Jones (1956) classified the injury as one of ...

Avulsion fracture of proximal phalanx 3rd finger

Simultaneous Dorsal Base Fracture and FDP Avulsion of Distal Phalanx of the Little Finger

Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. Simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. A 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. FDP ...
