In another scenario, a volar PIP joint dislocation can avulse the dorsal lip of the middle phalanx base and create a central slip disruption. (medscape.com)
Swelling is less obvious in wrist flexor tenosynovitis because of the thicker skin on the volar aspect of the hand. (medscape.com)
Fracture1

Limb1
Klippel-Weil Sign This is an upper extremity pathologic reflex sign which is considered present when the flexed fingers of the patient's affected limb are quickly pried open or extended by the examiner and it results in flexion and adduction of the patient's thumb. (legalsoftsolution.com)
Valgus2
Three years later, he had developed a 15 valgus deformity, an increased quadriceps angle and patellofemoral instability. (stanfordchildrens.org)
He was able to return to sports after undergoing a distal femoral osteotomy to correct the valgus and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction to stabilize the patella.CONCLUSION: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in athletes with open physes has the potential to cause distal femoral valgus deformity, an increased quadriceps angle, and subsequent patellofemoral instability. (stanfordchildrens.org)
Knee4
A retrospective, single-center study by Tominaga et al found that over a 20-year period, there was a 50.3% decrease in the total half-year period prevalence proportion (HPP) of RA-related surgeries, with significant reductions in knee, hip, shoulder/elbow, and hand procedures. (medscape.com)
The examiner places one hand under the patient's knee and the other hand over the middle anterior tibial third. (legalsoftsolution.com)

The central slip traverses the PIP joint dorsally and inserts at the dorsal base of the middle phalanx, extending the PIP joint when the extensor mechanism is fired. (medscape.com)
It is important to note that the two lateral bands normally pass dorsal to the axis of rotation of the PIP joint and eventually fall dorsally to coalesce with each another and insert at the dorsal base of the distal phalanx, working to extend the DIP joint when the extensor mechanism is fired. (medscape.com)
With the DIP joint in hyperextension, the oblique retinacular ligament, which is located at the dorsal DIP joint, will contract over time, contributing to the hyperextension deformity of this joint. (medscape.com)
When a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develops joint deformities in the hand or wrist that are unresponsive to medical management, surgical intervention is often necessary. (medscape.com)
Hip dysplasia is an abnormality of the hip joint where the socket portion does not fully cover the ball portion, resulting in an increased risk for joint dislocation. (wikipedia.org)
In unilateral dysplasia only one joint shows deformity, the opposite side may show resulting effects. (wikipedia.org)
As an acquired condition it has been linked to traditions of swaddling infants, use of overly restrictive baby seats, carriers and other methods of transporting babies, or use of a cradle board which locks the hip joint in an "adducted" position (pulling the knees together tends to pull the heads of the femur bone out of the sockets or acetabulae) for extended periods. (wikipedia.org)
A narrow uterus also facilitates hip joint dislocation during fetal development and birth. (wikipedia.org)
Arthritis affects various joints in the body and the arthritis in hand affects the joint at the base of the thumb. (orthoclinic-thspp.com)

A dislocation is a term used to describe a condition where a joint has been disrupted and has separated to the point where the two adjacent bones are no longer aligned or touching. (indianapolisdisccenter.com)
When a joint is dislocated the spine becomes unstable and is unable to protect the spinal cord or nerves. (indianapolisdisccenter.com)

(stanfordchildrens.org)
Sprains in the fingers are most often caused from a fall when you extend your arms to reduce the impact of the fall, or from overuse or repetitive activity of the thumb such as with texting. (orthoclinic-thspp.com)

Treatment2
[ 6 ] Surgical treatment is much more likely to be successful if it is implemented early in the course of the deformity. (medscape.com)
Treatment is usually closed reduction and percutanous pinning (CRPP), with the urgency depending on presence or absence of hand perfusion. (orthobullets.com)
Develop1
