HAND Flashcards
Tx AVN of capitate
vascularized bone raft
best coverage for dorsal thumb wounds
1st DMA flap
best coverage for volar thumb pulp
moberg advancement
best coverage for volar soft tissue finger defect
cross finger
best coverage for dorsal soft tissue finger defect
reverse cross finger
what is most that can be repaired w/o gap formation w epitendinous repair
partial lac up to 75% flexor tendon
tx proximal pole scaphoid fx
ORIF dorsal
tx distal pole scaphoid fx
ORIF volar
side effect of collagenase injection
pruritic rash
axillary LAD
what can arise from DIPJ in OA
mucous cyst
main restraint against ulnar translation of carpus
Radioscaphocapitate ligament
tx for CMC arthritis w thumb MCP hyperextension more than 30 deg
excision trapezium +/- LRTI
AND MCPJ arthrodesis to avoid adduction contracture
thenar flap best for
volar oblique defect of long or index finger in less than 30 y/o
mallet finger
disruption of extensor tendon distal to DIPJ so volar subluxation of distal phalanx
over tension of FDP tendon so can’t form grip
quadrigia effect
extension lag at MCPJ after metacarpal fx due to
shortening more than 2-5 mm
Best option for PIPJ arthroplasty
silicone implant
volar approach
volar subluxation of carpus after DRF due to damage to
short volar radiolunate ligament
Wartenberg sign due to
SF held in abducted position from ulnar nerve palsy
martin gruber anastamosis
connection btwn ulnar/median nerve in forearm
volar PIP disloation
what is usu ruptured
tx?
central slip of extensor tendon –> leads to boutonniere
immobilize in extension splint x6 wks
strength of tendon repairs depends on
number of strands crossing repair site (at least 4-6 strains)
best way to repair tendon
core suture 10 mm from cut edge
circumferential simple running epitendinous suture
digit amps where have poor function for replant
proximal to insertion of FDS (btwn FDS and distal palmar crease- zone 2)
best way to see hook of hamate fx
carpal tunnel view xr
central slip injury appears like
PIP flexion
DIP extension
tx central slip injury
full time extension split of PIPJ x5 wks with ACTIVE DIP flexion encouraed
MC mech for TFCC injury
wrist extension
forearm pronation
order of release for PIPJ flexion contracture
1) pulley takedown
2) release check rein lig
3) release accessory collateral lig and volar plate
4) proper collateral lig
