A rare case of acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma at the hand.

One case of acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is presented. Most of the soft tissue tumefactions of the distal extremities are benign. Sarcomas are rare and usually high grade.

The total anterior tenoarthrolysis in the treatment of the stiffness in flexion of the fingers.

The total anterior tenoarthrolysis (TATA) allows tenolysis, arthrolysis and skin repair in the same operation, avoiding combined different surgical procedures. The authors present a series of personal and original indications and propose a partial anterior tenoarthrolysis (PATA) for the treatment of isolated stiffness of the proximal interphalangeal joint or in the presence of less severe flexion contractures. The etiology was wide various, and the TATA revealed to be extremely useful also in tetraplegia or spasticity, permitting respectively the following tendon transfer and the hygienic improvement, and in the presence of global stiffness following complex lesions, reflex sympathetic algodystrophy or psychotic contracture.
