Recurrent turret exostoses--case report

R L Bourguignon

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |November 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical removal of two exostoses had different outcomes. Adhesion recurrence after the first surgery was successfully treated with a second surgery using a Silastic membrane.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Turret exostoses are bony growths that can cause adhesions after surgical excision.
    • Simultaneous excision of two exostoses in one hand presented a unique surgical challenge.
    • Periosteal laceration during surgery can increase the risk of adhesion formation and recurrence.

    Observation:

    • One exostosis excision resulted in good outcomes, while the other experienced adhesion recurrence.
    • Initial tenolysis with fat graft interposition for adhesion management was unsuccessful.
    • Photographic documentation tracked the surgical progression from injury to treatment outcomes.

    Findings:

    • A second tenolysis procedure was required for the recurrent adhesions.
    • Interposition of a Silastic membrane during the second tenolysis successfully prevented adhesion recurrence.

  • The choice of interposition material significantly impacted the surgical outcome.

    • Implications:

    • Silastic membrane interposition is a viable strategy for preventing adhesions after tenolysis in hand surgery.
    • Careful surgical technique, including periosteal management, is crucial for preventing complications like adhesions.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering advanced reconstructive techniques for complex hand surgery cases.
