Minimally invasive correction of phalangeal malunion under local anaesthesia.
Posttraumatic malunion of the proximal phalanx of the fingers may cause visible deformities and impair hand function. Severe dysfunction requires surgical correction, most often via open corrective osteotomies. However, such an approach requires longer bone healing time, inevitably results in a scar, and has a higher potential for extensor tendon adhesion. When performed under general anaesthes...
متن کاملIsolated Bilateral Triphalangeal Thumb with Delta Phalanx: A Case Report
Triphalangeal thumb is characterized by the interposition of an extra-phalanx between two normal ones. In this article the authors present the case of a 24-year-old man with bilateral triphalangeal thumb of opposable type, without any other associated anomaly or genetic syndrome. The patient had triangular delta extra-phalanxes that caused ulnar deviation of both thumbs. Surgical procedure for ...
متن کاملCorrective osteotomy for combined shortening and rotational malunion of the femur.
Rotational malunion of femoral fractures after intramedullary fixation is surprisingly common. Wiss et al (1986) reported from 10#{176} to 30#{176} external rotational deformity in 7% of 1 12 patients and Br#{226}ten,Terjesen and Rossvoll (1993) found that 21 of 1 10 fractures healed with over 15#{176} deformity. Rotation is often combined with shortening, especially in oblique or comminuted fr...
متن کاملPost-Traumatic Malunion of the Proximal Phalanx of the Finger. Medium-Term Results in 24 Cases Treated by “In Situ” Osteotomy
We report the clinical and radiographic medium-term results obtained for 20 patients (24 fingers) treated surgically for post-traumatic malunion of the proximal phalanx of the finger. In all cases we performed a corrective osteoclasia or osteotomy at the site of malunion, followed by miniplate and screw fixation or by screw fixation only. The corrective osteoclasia was performed when malalignme...
متن کاملTri-plane Osteotomy Correction of Distal Radius Malunion Addresses Shortening, Angular, and Rotational Deformity
INTRODUCTION: Rotational malalignment following fracture of the distal radius may be under appreciated and contribute to subluxation and dysfunction of the distal radioulnar joint. Rotational malunion is demonstrated by both plain radiographic and CT imaging. METHODS: Eleven patients with shortened, angular and rotational malunion underwent correction by performance of triplane osteotomy. Addit...
