Soft tissue interpositional arthroplasty as a treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint arthritis in resource-limited health care facility: A case report.

Introduction: Treatment of choice for posttraumatic arthritis in proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints has remained a controversial subject. There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal approach and treatment options for PIP joint arthritis. In this study, we report our experience in management of PIP joint arthritis using soft-tissue interpositional arthroplasty.

The Unpredictable Palmaris Longus Tendon Variation in Distal Radio-Ulnar Joint Reconstruction: A Technical Consideration for Undersized Graft.

Background: Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability results from the disruption of the triangular fibrocartilaginous complex consisting of DRUJ's primary and secondary stabilizers. The gold standard of stabilization procedure remains ligament reconstruction that utilizes tendon grafts to reanimate the volar and dorsal radioulnar ligament (RUL) as the primary stabilizers of the joint. The palmaris longus (PL) tendon, the graft of choice in reconstructive surgery, is commonly used in DRUJ reconstruction.
