The results of the surgical treatment of 74 patients with damages of long flexor tendon of the I-st finger of hand justify application of different methods of restorative therapy depending on the level and term of trauma, 30 perfect, 25 good, 17 satisfactory and 2 bad results have been registered. Adequate restoration of thumb bending function following transposition of the surface flexor tendon of the III finger was observed that allowed the authors to draw a conclusion on expediency of application of this method in inveterate cases with flexor functional failure.

Recurrent Refractory Non-Dupuytren Contracture in Females After Limited Fasciectomy.

Cureus

December 2024

Department of Orthopaedics, Niigata Hand Surgery Foundation, Seiro-machi, JPN.

Non-Dupuytren's contracture, a cord-like structure formed because of trauma or surgery, rarely requires surgery. An 81-year-old woman underwent flexor tendon sheath release for right middle finger snapping and flexor tenolysis for postoperative complications. At the referral, a cord existed between the base of the middle finger and the mid-palm, and a 50° extension deficit of the metacarpophalangeal joint was noted.

Purpose: Individuals with Lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy (LET) commonly experience gripping deficits, which are marked by pain and altered motor control of the forearm extensors and flexors. Although delayed activation of the anconeus muscle during rapid wrist extension has been observed in LET, its role during gripping is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate anconeus activation and its relation to forearm muscle activity during gripping in individuals with LET.

Background: Tendon repairs often result in adhesion formation which can cause persisting functional deficits. Close proximity of healing tissues increases friction during tendon excursion, often leading to tendon tethering postoperatively. Despite continued improvements in techniques for tendon repairs, there is currently no consensus on the most effective modality to reduce adhesion formation.

Objective: To provide clinicians with reliable recommendations for the selection of appropriate suturing techniques for surgical management of common musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries.

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Springer, Web Science, Vip Database, China National Knowledge, and Wanfang Data for in vitro biomechanical studies on suture techniques in the surgical treatment of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries covering relevant studies from April 2009 to April 2024 was performed. A generalized classification was made based on the characteristics of the techniques, and recommendations for the selection of suture techniques were made according to the GRADE concept.

Value of ultrasound-assessed dactylitis in the early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.

Semin Arthritis Rheum

December 2024

Department of Rheumatology and Joint and Bone Research Unit. Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital and Health Research Institute Fundación Jiménez Díaz (IIS-FJD, UAM), Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

Purpose: The primary objective of this prospective, longitudinal, observational, single-centre study was to evaluate the association between ultrasound-assessed lesions of dactylitis and the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) and hand arthralgia.

Methods: We included adult patients diagnosed with PsO with hand arthralgia, with or without other musculoskeletal complaints. They were clinically assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months by a rheumatologist blinded to the ultrasound findings.
