Chronic boutonniere deformity--an anatomic reconstruction

J R Urbaniak, M G Hayes

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |July 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical reconstruction effectively restores motion and appearance in chronic boutonniere deformity when splinting fails. This procedure involves ligament release and central slip reconstruction for improved finger function.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Hand surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Chronic boutonniere deformity often requires intervention beyond splinting.
    • Restoring finger function and appearance is crucial for patient quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical reconstruction for chronic boutonniere deformity.
    • To describe the surgical technique for addressing persistent boutonniere deformity.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical reconstruction was performed on thirteen patients over a 10-year period.
    • The procedure involved releasing transverse retinacular ligaments.
    • Reconstruction of the central slip utilized local joint capsule and synovium.

    Main Results:

    • Satisfactory improvement was achieved in twelve out of thirteen patients.
    • The surgical technique demonstrated high success rates in restoring finger function.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical reconstruction is a viable and effective treatment for chronic boutonniere deformity.
    • The described surgical technique offers a reliable solution for persistent cases unresponsive to splinting.
