Flexor tenosynovitis is a common finding in the patients with Linburg–Comstock syndrome. Another hypothesis is that anatomical variations, which in this case is an additional tendon slip, may act as space-occupying lesions and potentially contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. [5]
The patient should be awake in order to confirm adequate release. On occasion, triggering does not resolve until a slip of the FDS (flexor digitorum superficialis) tendon is resected. [10] One study suggests that the most cost-effective treatment is up to two corticosteroid injections followed by open release of the first annular pulley. [13]
Treatment is generally with a splint that holds the fingertip straight continuously for 8 weeks. [3] The middle joint is allowed to move. [3] This should be begun within a week of the injury. [3] If the finger is bent during these weeks, healing may take longer. [3] If a large piece of bone has been torn off surgery may be recommended. [3]
A graft of the extensor retinaculum was shown to be useful in treating boxer's knuckle when direct repair of the damaged capsule is not possible. [6] Because of their similarities in histological structure, studies also show the extensor retinaculum to be a reasonable biological replacement for reconstruction of a deficient annular pulley.
A harvested tendon, such as the palmaris tendon [11] from the forearm of the same or opposite elbow, the patellar tendon, hamstring, toe extensor or a donor's tendon , is then woven in a figure-eight pattern through the holes and anchored. [10] The ulnar nerve is usually moved to prevent pain, as scar tissue can apply pressure to the nerve. [11]
Hand surgery deals with both surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions and problems that may take place in the hand or upper extremity (commonly from the tip of the hand to the shoulder) [1] including injury and infection. [2] Hand surgery may be practiced by post graduates of orthopedic surgery and plastic surgery and MCh Hand surgery. [1]
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
The absence of the tendon of the extensor digitorum communis to the little finger is associated with the thicker type 3r juncturae tendinum in the fourth intermetacarpal space. [3] Hirai et al. reported type 1 junturae tendinum between the extensor digiti minimi and the extensor digitorum communis to the ring finger in 6% of the specimens. [1]
