Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers.
Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint include a wide spectrum of injuries, from stable avulsion fractures to complex fracture-dislocations. Stability of the joint is paramount in determining the appropriate treatment, which should aim to facilitate early mobilisation and restoration of function.
متن کاملSymmetrical fusiform swellings around the proximal interphalangeal joints
A 15-year-old, otherwise healthy boy presented with 2-yearhistory of swelling and thickening localized to the lateral aspects of his fingers. Dermatological examination revealed fusiform soft tissue swelling on the lateral and medial aspects of the second to fourth proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of both hands (Figure 1). There was no arthralgia or limited range of motion. Rheumatological...
متن کاملDynamic pinch tolerance of the phalanges and interphalangeal joints.
OBJECTIVES This article presents force and displacement tolerances for pinch loading of the bones and joints of the digits. METHODS Dynamic (54 mm/s) pinch loading was applied in a dorsal-palmar direction to all digits (fingers and thumb) on matched pairs of hands from 8 adult human cadavers. Opposed 3.1-mm thick, 1.0-mm radius of curvature aluminum pinching surfaces were used to represent th...
متن کاملClassification and Surgical Treatment of Symphalangism in Interphalangeal Joints of the Hand
BACKGROUND Symphalangism is a rare congenital difference characterized by ankylosis of interphalangeal (IP) joints of the fingers and toes. In adults, there were several attempts to restore the stiff joints into mobile ones, but these treatment options resulted in poor outcomes and could not be applied to growing children. Here, we report our experiences on surgical treatment for children who h...
متن کاملDouble dislocation of both interphalangeal joints in the finger. Case report and literature review.

Reduction was achieved by closed manipulation, followed by splinting in the "intrinsic plus" position. The joints were stable but had not yet fully recovered their mobility at six months follow-up.
