Ten out of 12 complete ruptures of the collateral ligament of the proximal interphalangeal joint were repaired primarily using a suture anchor. Active finger exercise was started gently by taping the injured finger to adjacent one one week postoperatively. All patients returned to their original occupation or sports activities within seven weeks of operation. No patients complained of pain on the involved finger at rest or during movement. There was no instability of the proximal interphalangeal joint on manual lateral stress test postoperatively.

Surgical excision of symptomatic lateral band snapping syndrome in small finger proximal interphalangeal joint.
BMJ Case Rep

Lateral band snapping syndrome can be a debilitating condition involving the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the fingers. Although rare, it is thought to occur due to disruption of the finger extensor mechanism allowing inappropriate subluxation of the lateral bands over the PIP joint, leading to mechanical and painful symptoms.Here, we describe a woman in her early 40s with a painful, snapping PIP joint secondary to a work-related injury.

Background: Extra-articular but severely comminuted distal basal fractures of the proximal phalanx (PP) are rarely reported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to achieve proper union and desirable outcomes using low-profile locking plates/screws. We introduced our own surgical approach and reported the clinical/radiographic outcomes via retrospective case series.

Background: Adhesion formation poses a significant challenge for both patients and hand surgeons following tendon repair. One common strategy to prevent adhesion formation is the use of physical barriers. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of extensor tendon repair with and without the application of the OrthoWrap bioresorbable Sheet, specifically in terms of adhesion prevention.

While proximal phalangeal joint injuries with comminution of the base of the middle phalanx are common injuries, proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fracture dislocations with an intact base of middle phalanx and a comminuted head of proximal phalanx are rare. Volar plate arthroplasty and other described techniques prevail for the former injury, while the latter does not have any supportive literature on the exact method of management. We herein present a 20-year-old male with a severely comminuted head of proximal phalanx fracture with dislocation of the PIP joint, which was not reconstructable but was managed successfully with a novel technique of volar plate draping that resurfaced the raw phalangeal head.

Tuberculosis (TB) dactylitis of the hand is a rare and challenging pathology, requiring positive bacterial identification through culture or biopsy for diagnosis. Treatment is also challenging, although it typically yields an excellent response to long-term tuberculostatic therapy. We describe a case of osteoarticular tuberculous dactylitis in a 36-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and a history of lymphoma.
