AI Article Synopsis
- Extensor tendon subluxation or dislocation from sagittal band rupture can cause symptoms like snapping, pain, and swelling in the fingers, often due to trauma, but can also arise from other conditions.
- A case study details a 29-year-old female with pain and swelling in her dominant hand, ultimately diagnosed with bilateral dislocation of the extensor tendons at her finger joints.
- The diagnosis was confirmed using dynamic ultrasound, indicating that there were no other underlying causes of the injury.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Extensor tendon subluxation or dislocation resulting from sagittal band rupture can be associated with snapping, catching, locking, pain, and swelling of the finger. Several etiologies were reported in the literature, with frequent mention of a traumatic rupture caused by a direct blow at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ). The other causes of sagittal band injuries are degenerative disease, congenital infection, and rheumatoid arthritis. To our knowledge, we report the first case of spontaneous idiopathic bilateral sagittal band rupture.
Case Report: We, herein, present the case of a seronegative 29-year-old female who presented with pain and swelling in the dominant hand for 4 days.
Conclusion: Upon examination, she was found to have bilateral dislocation of the extensor tendons at the level of the (MCPJ) of the third and fourth digits. Any underlying cause was excluded, and the diagnosis was confirmed with a dynamic ultrasound study.

A Novel Technique With Buttress Plating for Comminuted Base Fractures of the Proximal Phalanx.
Ann Plast Surg
December 2024
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.

Due to shortcomings of dorsal plates related to prominence, insufficient fixation of sagittal fracture lines, and difficulty matching proximal ulna dorsal angulation (PUDA), dual medial and lateral plating (DP) has been developed. We hypothesized that olecranon fractures treated with DP would have low complication rates and low incidence of hardware removal compared with those treated with traditional methods of fixation.

This review provides a detailed analysis of the anatomy, mechanisms, and management of ligamentous and capsular injuries in metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPJs). The MCPJ is a condyloid joint with unique anatomical features, including a sagittal cam effect that enhances stability in flexion. Ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules contribute to the overall stability and mobility of MCPJs.

Article Synopsis
- Craniosynostosis (CS) is a condition where cranial sutures fuse prematurely, affecting 1 in 2,000-2,500 children, and can be categorized as syndromic or nonsyndromic based on the affected sutures.
- An 8-year-old girl displayed signs of CS, and genetic testing identified a mutation linked to craniosynostosis-4, while her dental evaluation revealed unerupted teeth and cavities.
- Treatment involved addressing dental issues, and the significance of CS includes its genetic basis, often involving new mutations, with associated complications like facial changes and developmental delays.
Correction of non-traumatic extensor tendon dislocation and ulnar drift at the metacarpophalangeal joint by the modified Dell technique.
Hand Surg Rehabil
November 2024
Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Unit, Lapeyronie Hospital, CHU Montpellier, Université Montpellier, Montpellier, France.
Background: Chronic ulnar extensor tendon dislocation at the metacarpophalangeal joint causes permanent extension deficit and ulnar drift. Several soft tissue procedures have been described for realignment of the extensor tendon in post-traumatic reducible instability or in combination with joint replacement in case of altered metacarpophalangeal joint in inflammatory conditions. However, no studies reported correction of both extension lag and ulnar deviation following isolated surgical treatment of ulnar extensor tendon dislocation at the metacarpophalangeal joint.
