Modified Lateral Approach of the Elbow for Surgical Release and Synovectomy.

Elbow stiffness is a common reason for consultation. In recent years, arthroscopic techniques in elbow surgery have progressed, but there are still some contraindications to performance of arthroscopic synovectomy and release in this joint (elbows with anatomic deformity after multiple procedures, malunion, presence of osteosynthesis material, severe stiffness of >80 degrees, instability, or previous transposition of the ulnar nerve). Therefore, knowledge of a safe and reliable open approach to achieve elbow release and/or synovectomy is essential.

From 1989 to 1999, 56 consecutive patients were surgically treated for Dupuytren's disease. In 2003, 40 of these operated patients were reviewed by an independent evaluator; 12 patients were Tubiana stage 1, 16 stage 2, 9 stage 3 and 3 stage 4.

We use Le Viet's technique, to avoid tendon instability. The aim of the present study was to evaluate long-term results, with the hypothesis that this surgical technique is reliable, providing lasting results.

Introduction: Radiocarpal dislocation (RCD) and fracture-dislocations (RCFD) are severe but rare injuries for which the treatment and outcomes are not well defined. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the prevalence of the various injury types and their long-term outcomes.
Patients And Methods: Between 1992 and 2014, 41 patients with RCFD were seen at our institution.
Chronic instability of the thumb metacarpo-phalangeal joint: Seven-year outcomes of three surgical techniques.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
October 2017
Article Synopsis
- Severe thumb metacarpo-phalangeal joint (TMCPJ) injuries are commonly overlooked but have better outcomes if treated early; chronic instability can result from missed diagnoses.
- A study comparing three surgical methods (primary repair, ligament reconstruction, and arthrodesis) on patients with chronic TMCPJ instability found that arthrodesis yielded better pain relief and strength results.
- Primary repair should be the first choice when feasible, as it leads to higher overall satisfaction compared to ligament reconstruction, which had a notable failure rate.
