Operation for collateral ligament ruptures of the metacarpophalangeal joints of the fingers.

چکیده
Ten cases of complete rupture of the collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal finger joints are reported. The nature of this injury, the pre-operative morbidity and the intra-operative pathology are analysed. In all cases surgery was performed with satisfactory results. Operation is indicated for joint stability, grip and pinch strength, pain control and early functional recovery.

Collateral ligament injuries of the metacarpophalangeal joints of the fingers.
Although complete collateral ligament tear and instability involving the metacarpophalangeal joints of the fingers, especially those on the radial aspect of the index finger, are rare, they may be underdiagnosed, underestimated, and potentially disabling. Awareness and suspicion of the injury, coupled with careful physical and imaging examinations, confirm the diagnosis and its extent. Early op...
متن کاملRole of the Finger Flexors in Rheumatoid Deformities of the Metacarpophalangeal Joints.
It is proposed that rheumatoid deformity of the central three metacarpophalangeal joints is caused primarily by the flexor tendons acting on diseased joint restraints. During pinch and grasp the tendons bend volarly and ulnarly at the tunnel mouth; the resultant pulley forces damage the supporting collateral ligaments, especially on the radial side. The flexor tendons and proximal phalanges can...

Introduction: Hand and wrist stability are critical for optimal upper extremity function. Instability occurs when injury or a pathological condition alters balance, typically in the basketball players and handball players. Injury also can occur whenever the ligaments are subjected to tensile forces that exceed their physiological capacities. For example, thumb is stable in ext...
