Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Postburn boutonnière deformity significantly impairs hand function.
  • Current reconstructive methods for this deformity have limitations.
  • Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) instability is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical procedure for boutonnière deformity correction.
  • To reconstruct the PIPJ hood using a tendon graft.
  • To leverage lateral band function for simultaneous interphalangeal joint extension.

Main Methods:

  • A surgical technique involving tendon graft reconstruction of the PIPJ hood.
  • Focus on utilizing the intrinsic lateral bands of the fingers.
  • Procedure applied to 22 fingers across multiple patients.

Main Results:

  • Satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes were achieved in most cases.
  • The technique successfully achieved simultaneous extension of the interphalangeal joints.
  • Avoidance of excessive palmar displacement of the lateral bands was noted.

Conclusions:

  • This tendon graft reconstruction technique offers a viable solution for postburn boutonnière deformity.
  • The method effectively restores PIPJ stability and finger extension.
  • The technique showed limitations in the small finger, warranting further investigation.
