Revisiting the Curtis Procedure for Boutonniere Deformity Correction
نویسندگان
چکیده
DEAR EDITOR Boutonnière deformity (BD) is a debilitating deformity where the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the finger is flexed, and the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint is hyperextended.1-3 BD is commonly seen after injury and also as a sequela of progressive inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.1-3 Various techniques have been described to address the imbalance between the extensor and flexor mechanism to correct BD including (i) Salvi repositioned the lateral bands dorsally,4 (ii) Tenotomy of the extensor tendon distal to the triangular ligament was described for chronic BD,4 (iii) Littler and Eaton dissected out the extrinsic and interosseous tendons from the lumbrical and oblique retinacular ligaments and centralized the lateral bands,5 (iv) Stack utilized the superficial flexor tendon to reconstruct the central slip and redistributed the forces across the PIP,6 (v) Matev used the lateral band on one side to reconstruct the central slip, elongating it on the contralateral side to make use of a single lateral band,7 and (vi) Hou et al. described a method of reconstructing the central slip by employing autologous palmaris longus tendon.8

Operative correction of swan-neck and boutonniere deformities in the rheumatoid hand.
A swan-neck or boutonniere deformity occurs in approximately half of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The cause of boutonniere deformity is chronic synovitis of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Swan-neck deformity may be caused by synovitis of the metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, or distal interphalangeal joints. Numerous procedures are available for the operative correction...
متن کاملSuccessful surgical repair of central slip rupture in finger extensor tendon.
UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to develop a novel effective surgical method to repair boutonniere deformity resulting from central slip rupture of finger extensor tendon. Currently, there are not standard methods available to treat boutonniere deformity. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the current study, 8 patients with boutonniere deformity on the left hand were included.

متن کاملNonsurgical Management of the Boutonniere Deformity
The present study examined the effectiveness of a 6-week experimental program of splinting and joint protection education in reducing the progression of the early boutonniere deformity. Nine patients with mild or moderately reducible boutonniere deformities were randomized into experimental and control groups and followed for 1 year. Improvements in active extension of the proximal interphalang...
متن کاملClosed central slip injuries--a missed diagnosis?
The extensor apparatus of the finger is a complex structure and injury can lead to significant digital dysfunction. Closed central slip injuries may be missed or diagnosis delayed because of lack of an open wound and often no radiographic abnormality, and can result in boutonniere deformities if untreated. This study aimed to quantify the number of patients attending with closed central slip in...
