An enchondroma is a benign tumor in the medullary cavity of bone, which is composed of mature hyaline cartilage. It has a predilection for the ulnar-sided tubular bones of the hand and occurs most commonly in the proximal phalanx, and less commonly in the middle phalanx and metacarpals, and rarely in the distal phalanx. The treatment options for enchondromas include conservative regular follow-up or surgery. Operation is indicated in symptomatic enchondroma or lesions larger than 3 to 4 cm. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report the technical details of endoscopic curettage and bone grafting of enchondroma of proximal phalanx of finger. This minimally invasive approach can preserve the cortical integrity and periosteum of the involved phalanx.

A Novel Technique With Buttress Plating for Comminuted Base Fractures of the Proximal Phalanx.
Ann Plast Surg

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duson Hospital, Ansan, Korea.
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.

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.

Finger amputations aim at preserving function and optimizing cosmesis. The crucial decision here is whether to preserve a stump or to do a ray amputation. The present study aimed to compare the functional outcome and postoperative quality of life after ray amputation or amputation through the proximal phalanx.

The diabetic foot consumes a large number of resources and has a profound negative impact on quality of life, representing the major non-traumatic cause of lower limb amputation in adults. The present report describes a diabetic patient with a recurrent plantar ulcer in the topography of the heads of the second, third, and fourth metatarsals. The patient was treated using the distal metatarsal diaphyseal osteotomy (DMDO) technique in these bones, an Akin-type percutaneous osteotomy in the proximal phalanx of the hallux, and debridement.

Background: Proximal interphalangeal injury may result in malalignment of the phalanx axis of motion. In some instances, these fractures are treated with an external fixation method such as Suzuki-type fixation, during which the surgeon must perform X-rays to preserve the phalanx anatomical axis of motion.
Objectives: To assess the correlation between the palmar skin crease and the joint axis of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of the fingers opposing the thumb to improve the surgeons' perioperative planning procedure.
