Management of proximal interphalangeal joint injuries.
Injuries about the PIP joint of the finger are commonly encountered by primary care physicians and are associated with significant morbidity, including pain, stiffness, instability, premature degenerative arthritis, and residual deformities. An accurate understanding of the regional anatomy and appreciation of the mechanism of injury allows for classification so that a treatment protocol can be...
متن کاملDynamic external fixation for injuries of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
Pain, stiffness, instability and degenerative arthritis are common sequelae of complex fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. Operations were carried out to obtain stability, followed by application of a dynamic external fixator in 20 patients with a mean age of 29 years. This provided stability and distraction, and allowed controlled passive movement. Most (70%) of ...
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 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...
متن کاملFractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint constitute a broad spectrum of injuries. An understanding of the anatomy, the potential for joint instability, and the treatment options is essential to management of these fractures. Commonly observed fracture patterns involve one or both condyles of the proximal phalanx or the base of the middle phalanx. Fractures of the middle phalanx may invol...
