Q

when to repair ring avulsion injuries`

A

ONLY if no bone, tendon or nerve injury - vascular is ok

37
Q

hand amputation tx

A

if zone 3 or proximal you should replant

38
Q

40
Q

structure at risk b/w palmaris longus and FCR

A

41
Q

A

extension is more functional but can worsen symptoms; neutral is best for night time - least pressure

42
Q

cause of madelung

A

impaired growth of volar/ulnar phsysis of Distal radius due to either bony lesion or vicker’sligament

43
Q

lethal condition a/w radial club hand

A

Fanconi’s anemia - auto recessive; get CBC, c-some analysis - typically noted at 6-9 years;

44
Q

z plasty lengthening amounts

A

30 deg, 45 deg and 60 deg gives 25-50-75% respectively

45
Q

tx of macrodactylyl

A

fuse physis when finger reaches length of same sex parent

46
Q

max amount of distance for FDP repair

A

must be < 1cm; if longer consider staged or grafting with palmaris; silicone rod for collapses sheath

47
Q

deep vs superficial palmar arch

A

deep is more proximal and radial artery; superificial is supplied by ulnar artery and is distal

48
Q

grip at pinch strengthe after CTS release

A

typicall by 3 months its at 100% or higher

49
Q

Bunnell’s test

A

increased PIP flexion when you go from MCP extension to MCP flexion - indicates intrinsic tightness

50
Q

central slip injury causes

A

boutonniere

51
Q

replantation order

A

bone; extensor tendons; flexor tendons; artery; then vein or nerve; last skin

52
Q

ischemia time

A

12 hrs for cold , 6 for warm

53
Q

main complication of distal phalanx orif

A

symptomatic hardware requiring removal

54
Q

order of SLAC wrist degen changes

A

Radioscahpoid, capitolunate, lunate is last to go if at all

55
Q

function of proper and accessory collateral lig in thumb

A

both restrain against radial deviation - PCL is for flexion; ACL is extension

56
Q

1st dorsal compartment contents

A

APB, EPL

57
Q

complication with correct syndactyly

A

Web creep, the most common complication of this procedure, is the distal migration of the web commissure seen in surgically corrected syndactyly patients.

58
Q

what is often torn in volar PIP dislocation

A

Central slip

59
Q

most common dorsal ganglion in hand

A

via wrist in SL ligament

60
Q

spiral cord in Dupuytrens

spiral cord will be lateral and deep to the NV bundle

61
Q

composition of spiral cord in Dupuytrens

A

pretendinous band, spiral band, grayson ligament, and latearl digitial sheath

62
Q

spiral cord’s effect on NV bundle

A

displaces it centrally and superficially

63
Q

central cord in Dupuytrens

A

extension of pretendinous band - causes PIP contracture

65
Q

wassel thumb classification (1-6)

A

1 -bifid distal phalanx, 2. dupilicat distal phalanx, 3. duplicate distal phalanx with forked middle phalanx; 4. double phalanxes, 5. doubles with bifid metacarpal; 6. double digit all the way to Metacarpal; 7. triphalanx

in low mostly thumb opposition is lost; in high thumb opposition, IP flexion and middle finger flexion have to be addressed

80
