Distal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis with Herbert screw
نویسنده
چکیده
Fifteen patients underwent arthrodesis of finger distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) and/or thumb interphalangeal joint (IP). Only Herbert screw intramedullary compression fixation was used. There was one faulty proximal thread placement with some pain, but the patient refused further surgery. Full union was achieved in 14 of the cases, with prominent hardware in one and intolerance to cold in two.

Treatment of symptomatic distal interphalangeal joint arthritis with percutaneous arthrodesis: a novel technique in select patients.
Arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint is a reliable means of achieving pain relief in a symptomatic DIP joint afflicted by a variety of degenerative, inflammatory, or posttraumatic conditions. Successful arthrodesis is more reproducible when rigid compression of the joint is achieved. The emergence of an increasing number of commercially available headless or variable pitch comp...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of Internal Fixation Methods for Distal Interphalangeal Joint Arthrodesis.
BACKGROUND The biomechanical performance of distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) fixation techniques in response to cyclic and load-to-failure bending loads is generally unknown. The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of 4 commonly used techniques for DIP arthrodesis. METHODS Phalanges were fixed by one of the following techniques: (1) 2 parallel Kirschner wires (K-wires), (2) ...
متن کاملDistal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis in extension using a headless compressive screw.
The aim of this study was to review the clinical outcome and complications in patients who underwent distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) fusion in extension using an axial screw with variable thread pitch (Mini Acutrak screw Acumed, LLC, Hillsboro, OR, USA). Thirty-eight cases of DIPJ or thumb IPJ were performed and assessed through patient satisfaction (hand function and pain) and radiographs....
متن کاملTransfixation cast technique for arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal joint of horses.
Surgical arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint by transfixation casting was used to salvage a three-year-old filly and a yearling filly that were chronically lame because of infection of the DIP joint for breeding. Unlike previously described techniques for arthrodesis of the DIP joint, the technique used did not require insertion of implants across the joint, which may have con...

Background:Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. Still there is few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 60 patients who received an arthrodesis of the MTP-I between January 2008 and June 2010. With 20 patients each we performed a locking plate fixation with lag screw, arthrodesis w...
