The 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 کاملManagement 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 کاملRecurrent Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of the Finger: A Rare Issue in Hand Surgery
Recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. This report presents a new case of chronic recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger in which soft tissue injuries have a role in the dislocation. The patient was a 23 years old man who had referred to our center because of recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of his right ring finger during spor...
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...
