Thumb amputation classification
Lister
1. Good length, function, poor soft tissue
2. Subtotal - questionable length - patient requirements decide and level of amputation, maybe only soft tissue coverage
3. Total amp, preserved basal joint - lenghten
4. No basal joint - new basal joint of fused in antiposition
How musch can palmar advancement flap cover
1,5 cm without proximal releasing incision
2,5 cm with proximal releasing insicion (V-Y or Z-plasties on both sides, or transverse at prox 1/3 of P1 as island flap + skin graft)
Up to 45 degree of IP flexion
Nerves always go dorsal to
Natatory lig seldom affected. Function is to stabilize web crease.
Nerves also dorsal to Skoog transverse fibers
Other name for the natatory and transverse lig
Small skin inversions in Dupuytrens are called?
Caused by what lig?
Fibers arround the A1 (often affected in Dupuytrens)
Fibers connection palmar aponeurosis to the finger
Legueu & Juvara
Gosset
Volar finger cutaneous lig often affected in Dupuytrens disease?
Grayson lig
45 - 45 degrees but affected can be 90 degrees to finger
What separates FDP from lumbricals
Legeau & Juvara lig
What causes this snapping of skin?
Ligament dorsal to nerves and vessels in the digit?
Direction of Clelands lig?
Name of this fiber? (normal tissue)
Grayson lig
What lig can cause this bony “exostosis”?
A part of affected Graysons lig
Which 2 lig causes spiral chord
Gossets lig together with a part of Graysons
Where do you find the spiral chords
Just distal or proximal to the natatory lig at the web crease
Where is the digital artery most vulnerable in Dupuytrens disease
At the PIPj where the prox transverse arch holds the artery fixed inside the chord
Common finger joints affected in RA and Psoriasis arthritis
RA: MCP + PIP
Psoriasis: DIP
But all joints can be affected. Psoriasis give more often MCP extension contracture and less good with silicon implant. Joints more often fused than with RA.
Hallmark of SLE joint involvment
Ligamentous and volar plate laxity
Tendon sulbluxation with joint imbalance
Joint destruction less common campared to RA. OFten normal appearing joint spaces but deformity on X-ray
What causes PIP-hyperextension deformity after ulnarly deviated MCPs
Contracture of ulnar intrinsics
Scleroderma etiology
Systemic sclerosis
More common in women
disorder of small blood vessels and connctive tissue leading to fibroris incl skin (hand and face - around mouth)
What disease
Scleroderma typical severe PIP flexión contracture and secondary MCP hyperextension
Degrees for PIP fusion
25 dig 2,
45 dig 5
How Boutonniere in thumb developes in RA
Proliferative MPj synovitis bulges dorsally
->attenuation of EPB insertion, streching ext hood-> Displacement of EPL ulnarly/volarly
Check that no FPL rupture in carpal tunnel
Possible to reconstruct ext with rerouting of EPL dorsally + synovecotmi in early cases but risk of recurrence
Thumb swan neck cause in RA
Treatment
CMC1j disease, subluxation dorally/radilly or complete dislocation with adduction -> Secondary MPj hyperextension i volar plate is lax to open up grip (CMCj is fixed)
Treatmen focus on CMC1 with LRTI, If flexible MCP volar tenodesis or sesamoidesis. If fixed -> MP fusion.
What direction does wrist often deviate in RA when MCPj:s are not involved
Ulnarly
What comes first, wrist deviation deformity or finger in RA
Often MCPj first and compensatory radial deviation at wrist (Ulnarly if only wrist)). Mild wrist deviation can be spontaneously corrected efter MCPj stabilization surgery in these cases. When severe wrist deviation start at the wrist.
3 types of RA destruction
In Vaughn-Jackson what happens?
Destructive synovitis destroys ulno and radiocarpal lig. Ulna stays in place but the carpus supinates oand translates volarly (also volarly from radius due to volar inclination in radius). The radius also moves a little volarly in relation to ulna.
Ulna is actually the only bone in place in opposition to what we normally say.
Does Darrach increase risk of ulnar translation?
No.
Ulnar translation is due to incompetence in radiocarpal lig (short-long radio lunate and RSC)
Benefits of Sauve-Kampandji over Darrach?
Does not decrease risk of ulnar translation.
How to treat ulnar drift in MCPj in RA
Often 3 problems: ulnar deviation, volar subluxation and extensor tendon attenuated
Excise triangle ulnarly in extension hood incl intrinsic attachment, reconnect to next finger on the radial side. Dig 2 use EPB. Nicolle ext hood reconstruction around coll lig also corrects volar subluxation.
Type 1 Boutonniere of thumb
Type 2 Boutonniere of thumb
Type 3 deformity of thumb
Type IV of thumb deformity
Type V thumb deformity
Type VI Thumb deformity
Steven Hovius recommended radial nerve tendon transfer
Post delt + fascia lata för triceps
FCR -> ERCB (Insted PT)
FDS III -> EPL + EDC2 (Instead of FCR + PL)
FDS IV -> EDC3-5
APL tenodesis to BR
Where attach opponensplasty?
Test by pull in attachmentpoint at MCP. If flexion at MCP is achieved move the attachmentpoint more distally
Opponensplasty donors
FSD 4 (loop palmar aponeurosis, FCU, FCU-loop)
EIP
Camitz
PL
Abductor digiti mini
High median tendon transfer
EIP -> Opponens
BR -> FPL (Free high)
ECRL -> FDP 2 (Or side to side)
Froments sign?
Pinch, no adductor is compensated by FPL
Mennerfelt sign
Unstable PIP2 in pinch with hyperflexion
dependent on instrinsic minus
(interossei not working)
Jeanne sign
Weak FPB leads to extension in MCP in pinch
EXCURSION OF
wrist tendon
finger extensors
finger flexors
Classic radial nerve palsy transfer
Pinch reconstruction after ulnar nerve injury
May use EDC as interposition graft between APL and 1st IOM, alse graft b
New Zeeland split
works almost like IP-fusion but mor supple
Other option for Adductor reconstruction and 1st dorsal interosseus reconstruction
What to consider with high ulnar nerve injury
Options for intrinsic reconstruction and one important test
Bouvier test:
Flex MCP and see if PIP-extends - this meens a lasso will open up the grip. If PIP remains flexed lasso is not a good option (Zancolli around A1). Consider axtive extension of PIP with FDS och like Brand with ECRB going volar to transverse metacarpal lig.
What is lumbrical plus finger
Retraction of FDP with the lumbrical after distal FDP injury leading to paradoxal PIP-extension when trying to flex the finger
