Ultrasound-guided first annular pulley injection for trigger finger. (1/16)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to develop an ultrasound-guided first annular (A1) pulley injection technique for trigger finger with documentation of outcomes at 1 year. METHODS: We performed a short-axis injection into a triangle bordered by the A1 pulley, the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus tendons and volar plate, and the distal metacarpal bone with a 10-mg median dose of triamcinolone acetonide and 2% lidocaine. This was a prospective study of 50 of 52 consecutive trigger fingers from 24 patients recruited from a physical medicine and rehabilitation private practice. RESULTS: All patients were available for follow-up, with 94% (47 of 50) of fingers having complete resolution of symptoms at 6 months, 90% (37 of 41) at 1 year, 65% (17 of 26) at 18 months, and 71% (12 of 17) at 3 years after a single injection. CONCLUSIONS: Our ultrasound-guided A1 pulley injection technique is a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment option for trigger finger with a 90% success rate at 1 year for complete resolution of symptoms after a single injection. Assuming similar patient populations, our results were statistically significant (P < .01) compared with the 56% to 57% success rates recently reported for blind injections. (+info)Treatment of type C3 distal radius fracture resulted from high-energy injuries by volar plate in combination with external fixator. (2/16)
BACKGROUND: With a type C3 distal radius fracture it is extremely difficult to maintain the reduction and to restore congruity of the articular surface because the support for the volar and dorsal bone cortex has been lost. An external fixator crossing wrist in combination with Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation was popularly used by most studies in recent years. But loss of reduction often occurred especially in the volar sides. METHODS: A total of 30 cases of type C3 distal radius fracture were treated by a volar buttress plate combined with a transarticular external fixator and other techniques such as K-wire fixation and bone grafting if necessary. The postoperative volar tilt angles, ulnar inclinations, radial heights, range of motion, grip strength and complications were recorded to assess the therapeutic effects. RESULTS: Of the 30 patients, 27 patients were followed up for 12 - 29 (mean 18) months and all fractures healed in 8 - 13 weeks after surgery (mean 10 weeks). The wrist function was excellent in 8 cases, good in 16 cases and fair in 3 cases according to the Sarmiento scoring system (modified by Stewart). CONCLUSIONS: For type C3 comminuted fracture with severe volar and dorsal instability, fixation by volar buttress plate combined with transarticular external fixator should be adopted. Dorsal instability could be further stabilized by other techniques such as Kirschner wire fixation, and bone grafting.

(+info)A volar plate, also known as the palmar plate, is a strong band of tissue found in the joints of the hand (metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints) that helps to provide stability and prevent hyperextension. It is located on the palmar or volar side (front side) of the joint, and it is attached to the proximal phalanx and the metacarpal bone. Injuries to the volar plate can occur due to sports accidents or falls, leading to conditions such as a volar plate injury or a gamekeeper's thumb.
A radius fracture is a break in the bone that runs from the wrist to the elbow, located on the thumb side of the forearm. Radius fractures can occur as a result of a fall, direct blow to the forearm, or a high-energy collision such as a car accident. There are various types of radius fractures, including:
1. Distal radius fracture: A break at the end of the radius bone, near the wrist joint, which is the most common type of radius fracture.
2. Radial shaft fracture: A break in the middle portion of the radius bone.
3. Radial head and neck fractures: Breaks in the upper part of the radius bone, near the elbow joint.
4. Comminuted fracture: A complex radius fracture where the bone is broken into multiple pieces.
5. Open (compound) fracture: A radius fracture with a wound or laceration in the skin, allowing for communication between the outside environment and the fractured bone.
6. Intra-articular fracture: A radius fracture that extends into the wrist joint or elbow joint.
7. Torus (buckle) fracture: A stable fracture where one side of the bone is compressed, causing it to buckle or bend, but not break completely through.
Symptoms of a radius fracture may include pain, swelling, tenderness, bruising, deformity, limited mobility, and in some cases, numbness or tingling in the fingers. Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the fracture but can range from casting to surgical intervention with implant fixation.
Bone plates are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to stabilize and hold together fractured or broken bones during the healing process. They are typically made of surgical-grade stainless steel, titanium, or other biocompatible materials. The plate is shaped to fit the contour of the bone and is held in place with screws that are inserted through the plate and into the bone on either side of the fracture. This provides stability and alignment to the broken bones, allowing them to heal properly. Bone plates can be used to treat a variety of fractures, including those that are complex or unstable. After healing is complete, the bone plate may be left in place or removed, depending on the individual's needs and the surgeon's recommendation.
Fracture fixation, internal, is a surgical procedure where a fractured bone is fixed using metal devices such as plates, screws, or rods that are implanted inside the body. This technique helps to maintain the alignment and stability of the broken bone while it heals. The implants may be temporarily or permanently left inside the body, depending on the nature and severity of the fracture. Internal fixation allows for early mobilization and rehabilitation, which can result in a faster recovery and improved functional outcome.
The metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint is the joint that connects the bones of the hand (metacarpals) to the bones of the fingers and thumb (phalanges). It's also commonly referred to as the "knuckle" joint. The MCP joint allows for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements of the fingers and thumb. It is a synovial joint, which means it contains a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid that helps reduce friction during movement.
A finger phalanx is the medical term for the bones that make up each finger, excluding the thumb. The fingers typically consist of three phalanges, named proximally (nearest to the hand), middle, and distally (farthest from the hand). Each phalanx has a base, body, and head. The base articulates with the preceding bone, while the head articulates with the following bone to form a joint. The thumb, having only two phalanges, consists of a proximal and distal phalanx.
An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
A finger joint, also known as an articulation, is the point where two bones in a finger connect and allow for movement. The majority of finger joints are classified as hinge joints, permitting flexion and extension movements. These joints consist of several components:
1. Articular cartilage: Smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bones, enabling smooth movement and protecting the bones from friction.
2. Joint capsule: A fibrous sac enclosing the joint, providing stability and producing synovial fluid for lubrication.
3. Synovial membrane: Lines the inner surface of the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid to lubricate the joint.
4. Volar plate (palmar ligament): A strong band of tissue located on the palm side of the joint, preventing excessive extension and maintaining alignment.
5. Collateral ligaments: Two bands of tissue located on each side of the joint, providing lateral stability and limiting radial and ulnar deviation.
6. Flexor tendons: Tendons that attach to the bones on the palmar side of the finger joints, facilitating flexion movements.
7. Extensor tendons: Tendons that attach to the bones on the dorsal side of the finger joints, enabling extension movements.
Finger joints are essential for hand function and enable activities such as grasping, holding, writing, and manipulating objects.
A joint capsule is the fibrous sac that encloses a synovial joint, which is a type of joint characterized by the presence of a cavity filled with synovial fluid. The joint capsule provides stability and strength to the joint, while also allowing for a range of motion. It consists of two layers: an outer fibrous layer and an inner synovial membrane. The fibrous layer is made up of dense connective tissue that helps to stabilize the joint, while the synovial membrane produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and reduces friction during movement.
In medical terms, the thumb is referred to as "pollex" and it's the first digit of the hand, located laterally to the index finger. It's opposable, meaning it can move opposite to the other fingers, allowing for powerful gripping and precise manipulation. The thumb contains two phalanges bones - the distal and proximal - and is connected to the hand by the carpometacarpal joint, which provides a wide range of motion.
A dislocation is a condition in which a bone slips out of its normal position in a joint. This can happen as a result of trauma or injury, such as a fall or direct blow to the body. Dislocations can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the affected area. In some cases, a dislocation may also damage surrounding tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
Dislocations are typically treated by reducing the dislocation, which means putting the bone back into its normal position. This is usually done with the help of medication to relieve pain and relaxation techniques to help the person stay still during the reduction. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or if the dislocation cannot be reduced through other methods. After the dislocation has been reduced, the joint may be immobilized with a splint or sling to allow it to heal properly.
It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect that you have a dislocation. If left untreated, a dislocation can lead to further complications, such as joint instability and chronic pain.
A laceration is a type of injury that results in a tear or ragged cut in the skin or mucous membrane, often caused by some form of trauma. This can include cuts from sharp objects, blunt force trauma, or accidents. Lacerations can vary greatly in severity, from minor injuries that only affect the top layer of skin to more serious wounds that penetrate deeper into underlying tissues and structures.
Lacerations are typically irregular in shape and may have jagged edges, unlike clean incisions caused by sharp objects. They can also be accompanied by bruising, swelling, and bleeding, depending on the severity of the injury. In some cases, lacerations may require medical attention to properly clean, close, and manage the wound to prevent infection and promote healing.
It is essential to assess the depth, location, and extent of a laceration to determine the appropriate course of action. Deeper lacerations that expose underlying tissues or structures, such as muscles, tendons, nerves, or blood vessels, may require sutures (stitches), staples, or adhesive strips to close the wound. In some instances, surgical intervention might be necessary to repair damaged tissues properly. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment of lacerations.
In medical terms, fingers are not specifically defined as they are common anatomical structures. However, I can provide you with a general anatomy definition:
Fingers are the terminal parts of the upper limb in primates, including humans, consisting of four digits (thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers) and one opposable thumb. They contain bones called phalanges, connected by joints that allow for movement and flexibility. Each finger has a nail, nerve endings for sensation, and blood vessels to supply nutrients and oxygen. Fingers are crucial for various activities such as grasping, manipulating objects, and tactile exploration of the environment.
Zinc fingers are a type of protein structural motif involved in specific DNA binding and, by extension, in the regulation of gene expression. They are so named because of their characteristic "finger-like" shape that is formed when a zinc ion binds to the amino acids within the protein. This structure allows the protein to interact with and recognize specific DNA sequences, thereby playing a crucial role in various biological processes such as transcription, repair, and recombination of genetic material.
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process that occurs after tissue injury, aiming to restore the integrity and functionality of the damaged tissue. It involves a series of overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
1. Hemostasis: This initial phase begins immediately after injury and involves the activation of the coagulation cascade to form a clot, which stabilizes the wound and prevents excessive blood loss.
2. Inflammation: Activated inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages, infiltrate the wound site to eliminate pathogens, remove debris, and release growth factors that promote healing. This phase typically lasts for 2-5 days post-injury.
3. Proliferation: In this phase, various cell types, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes, proliferate and migrate to the wound site to synthesize extracellular matrix (ECM) components, form new blood vessels (angiogenesis), and re-epithelialize the wounded area. This phase can last up to several weeks depending on the size and severity of the wound.
4. Remodeling: The final phase of wound healing involves the maturation and realignment of collagen fibers, leading to the restoration of tensile strength in the healed tissue. This process can continue for months to years after injury, although the tissue may never fully regain its original structure and function.
It is important to note that wound healing can be compromised by several factors, including age, nutrition, comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, vascular disease), and infection, which can result in delayed healing or non-healing chronic wounds.
X-ray computed tomography (CT or CAT scan) is a medical imaging method that uses computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of the body. These cross-sectional images can then be used to display detailed internal views of organs, bones, and soft tissues in the body.
The term "computed tomography" is used instead of "CT scan" or "CAT scan" because the machines take a series of X-ray measurements from different angles around the body and then use a computer to process these data to create detailed images of internal structures within the body.
CT scanning is a noninvasive, painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. CT imaging provides detailed information about many types of tissue including lung, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels. CT examinations can be performed on every part of the body for a variety of reasons including diagnosis, surgical planning, and monitoring of therapeutic responses.
In computed tomography (CT), an X-ray source and detector rotate around the patient, measuring the X-ray attenuation at many different angles. A computer uses this data to construct a cross-sectional image by the process of reconstruction. This technique is called "tomography". The term "computed" refers to the use of a computer to reconstruct the images.
CT has become an important tool in medical imaging and diagnosis, allowing radiologists and other physicians to view detailed internal images of the body. It can help identify many different medical conditions including cancer, heart disease, lung nodules, liver tumors, and internal injuries from trauma. CT is also commonly used for guiding biopsies and other minimally invasive procedures.
In summary, X-ray computed tomography (CT or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique that uses computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of the body. It provides detailed internal views of organs, bones, and soft tissues in the body, allowing physicians to diagnose and treat medical conditions.

- Patient-specific drill and cutting guides including the preoperative planned screw direction of the angular-stable locking plates and the osteotomy planes were used for the intraoperative realization of the preoperative plan. (biomedcentral.com)
- After osteotomy, by inserting the screw through the plate into the predrilled holes an indirect - automatic - reduction can be achieved. (biomedcentral.com)
Radius fracture2
- The VRP plate has been designed for distal radius fracture fixing to the Vloar surface of the radius. (lsm-med.com)
- Hand numbness and carpal tunnel syndrome after volar plating of distal radius fracture. (ijoro.org)
Collateral ligament1
- [ 4 ] They occur when a longitudinal blow to a moderately flexed middle phalanx causes disruption of a collateral ligament and partial avulsion of the volar plate. (medscape.com)
Functional outcome1
- Adjuvant Arthroscopy Does Not Improve the Functional Outcome of Volar Locking Plate for Distal Radius Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial. (bvsalud.org)
Surgical2
- 6 databases were searched from 2005 to 2021 for publications regarding surgical treatment for a DRF with a volar locking plate. (actaorthop.org)
- Primary surgical options would include internal locked volar or dorsal plating, joint bridging, or nonbridging external fixation with or without percutaneous pinning using Kirschner- (K-) wires, sole percutaneous pinning, and internal distraction plating. (hindawi.com)
Recess1
- Last, a lip on the middle phalanx rolls into a recess on the plate. (wikipedia.org)
Joints5
- The Volar Plate is the name for the tough ligament that covers the front (palm side) of the joints in your fingers. (flex.physio)
- The volar plate helps to limit how far backwards the joints can bend, while allowing unrestricted movement into a forward bending position. (flex.physio)
- The plates of the MCP and IP joints are structurally and functionally similar, except that in the MCP joints they are interconnected by a deep transverse ligament. (wikipedia.org)
- In the MCP joints, the four volar plates of the fingers and the capsules within which they lie are blended with and interconnected by the deep transverse metacarpal ligament which ties the metacarpal heads together. (wikipedia.org)
- In contrast to the volar plates of the MCP joints of the fingers, the volar plate of the thumb MCP joint is a thick structure firmly attached to the base of the proximal phalanx. (wikipedia.org)
Lateral approach2
- With the APTUS Distal Radius System 2.5 Medartis offers a multidirectional and angular stable product line with implant plates in different designs, lengths and widths for a volar, dorsal and/or lateral approach. (promedionics.eu)
- Background: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the results of volar plating for distal radius fractures using a single direct lateral approach. (jotsrr.org)
Joint1
- The volar plate of the thumb MCP joint has a transverse longitudinal rectangular shape, shorter than those in the fingers. (wikipedia.org)
Finger2
- If the finger is forced backwards too hard the volar plate may be injured. (flex.physio)
- Any impact on the fingertip which forces the finger backwards may potentially injure the volar plate. (flex.physio)
Bone3
- In its proximal end, the volar plate becomes membranous and blends with the volar capsule which is attached to the head of the metacarpal bone. (wikipedia.org)
- Plate preserves blood supply to soft tissues and bone. (suhradamortho.com)
- In volar plate injuries, x-rays occasionally show a small bone fragment avulsed from the middle phalanx. (msdmanuals.com)
Wrists2
- Simultaneous volar plate fixation via open surgery to wrists was performed allowing him to go back to his trade. (drbadia.com)
- Despite titanium plates in both wrists, he can now do more pushups and bench press much more weight than before the surgery. (drbadia.com)
Holes1
- Plate features locking compression holes and round locking holes that accepts 2.4/2.7mm screws. (suhradamortho.com)
Treatment2
- There are numerous treatment options available for their management with the most recent advancement being the use of volar locking plates. (fortuneonline.org)
- Treatment of volar Barton's fractures of the distal radius with a 3.5mm T-buttress plate or locking plate leads to satisfactory results, provided the operative technique is carefully performed to prevent complications. (orthopaper.com)
