Volar denervation and osteophyte resection to relieve volar CMC joint pain
نویسنده
چکیده
At mean 125.6 months, pain was reduced from mean of 8.7 to 0.67, p < .001. Each of three patients, two of whom were musicians, returned to full professional ability. It is concluded that volar CMC joint denervation is a useful procedure, preserving joint function and relieving pain long-term.

Anterior interosseous nerve palsy mimicking rupture of the index flexor digitorum profundus after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture
We describe the case of a patient with distal radius fracture who became unable to flex the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger after internal fixation using a volar locking plate. There was palpable crepitus with active thumb motion, and wrist radiographs showed prominence of the volar plate at the watershed line. Therefore, our initial diagnosis was plate-induced closed rupture o...
متن کاملA novel use for suture button suspension: reconstruction of the dorsal ulnar ligament to treat thumb metacarpal dislocation
There are numerous treatment algorithms that have been developed to treat thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis. A newer treatment option for these patients is CMC stabilization using suture button suspensionplasty. The authors of this case report have extensive experience with the suture-button suspensionplasty using the Mini TightRope CMC technique (Arthrex). We present a novel usage of the s...
متن کاملDistal radioulnar joint volar instability after ligament reconstruction failure treated with sigmoid notch osteotomy.
Because osseous abnormalities result in distal radioulnar joint instability, a sigmoid notch osteotomy is used to restore stability. This article describes a case of distal radioulnar joint volar instability treated with sigmoid notch osteotomy of the volar rim.A 22-year-old man presented with a 9-month history of right wrist pain with volar instability after a fall, which was treated conservat...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Volar Radial Wrist Ganglion
Volar ganglion cyst of the wrist is a common hand problem faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Excision is indicated if it is painful. Arthroscopic ganglionectomy of the wrist ganglion has been reported with the advantage of minimally invasive surgery. Most of them involve elimination of the valvular mechanism and internal drainage of the ganglion fluid to the wrist joint. The access of the ganglion ...
متن کاملIn vitro kinematics of the proximal interphalangeal joint in the finger after progressive disruption of the main supporting structures.
BACKGROUND Fractures and dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the fingers are among the most common causes of injury in the hand. Objective assessment of the kinematic alterations occurring when the supporting structures are disrupted is critical to obtain a more accurate indication of joint stability. METHODS An in vitro cadaver model of the hand was used to evaluate t...
