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 کاملManagement of proximal interphalangeal joint fractures and dislocations.
Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) injuries are among the most common in the hand and their severity is often underestimated. These injuries often lead to prolonged disability, pain, and stiffness. Appropriate treatment includes a thorough assessment, physical examination, and directed imaging. Such an approach should lead to a rational treatment plan that focuses on the rehabilitation of all...
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 کاملSplinting in the management of proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture.
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) flexion contracture is a common complication following hand injuries and conditions. This study investigated the treatment outcome of 20 subjects with PIP flexion contracture who followed a dynamic splinting program using either a Capener or low-profile outrigger. The splint applied a 250-g force to the distal end of the middle phalanx. Each patient was instructed...
