[Reconstruction after traumatic destruction of the finger joints]
1SOS Main, Strasbourg.
Abstract:
Miniaturized osteosynthesis still is the best solution for articular injuries, but in case of destruction the indications will depend on several patient-linked factors (age, handedness, profession...) and on the loss of substance. In case of limited loss of substance, Swanson's prosthesis provided an average mobility of 48 degrees at the MP level and 34 degrees at the PIP level. In case of extensive osteoarticular loss, only island or free vascularized articular transfer allow avoiding arthrodesis. The transfers provided mobility exceeding 45 degrees at the MP level and 42 degrees at the PIP level, therefore better values than with free articular toe transfers (35 degrees for the MP joints and 23 degrees for the PIP joints).

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
