Hand Review Course 20007

Anatomy of hand (Lluch)

  1. Ulnar styloid: distal continuation of olecranon
  2. ECU: extensor or ulnar deviation dependent on wrist position

Finger ROM arc different with or without intrinsic function

The hand is not a specialized instrument (Lluch)

Functions of the hand: non-prehensile (precision or force - capable of both simultaneously) or prehensile

Wrist anatomy (Stanley)

  1. Tq most important bone; Tq is the engine, Scaphoid is the caboose

Diagnostic Imaging (Tsou)

  1. 25 1mm sections for wrist (3 Tesla MRI)

Ligament Reconstruction in the wrist (Tay SC)

SLD

  1. Tenodesis
  2. Capsulodesis
  3. Bone-tissue-bone: Remote (Navicular-cuneiform, iliac crest), Local
  4. IC fusion

SLD Tenodesis

  1. Modified Brunelli with its various modifications
  2. 3 ligament reconstruction (Garcias-Elias, Stanley JHSA 06)
  3. Modified Brunelli (Talwalker 2006)

Moran (JHSA 2006): compared capsulodesis and tenodesis

  1. decreased ROM
  2. no change in ROM
  3. capsulodesis: better pain relief
  4. tenodesis: better SL angle

Treatment algorith for SLD: Garcias-Elias & Stanley (2006)

Balancing the hand (Lluch)

  1. radial inclincation of finger is consequence of ulnar drift not cause
  2. Ulnar subluxation is the most important cause of ulnar drift
Correction of ulnar drift in RA
  1. release ADQM
  2. plicate Radial saggital band
  3. cross intrinsic transfer: biomechanically sound but not useful
Swan Neck Deformity
  1. according to Lluch is secondary to flexor tendon synovitis
  2. plus PIPJ volar plate elongation
  3. plus imbalance between flexors and extensor

Arthroplasty/Fusion (Stanley)

  1. In post-traumatic OA: soft tissues may be bigger problem than joint itself
