    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Orthopedic reconstruction
    • Musculoskeletal repair

    Background:

    • Severe hand injuries can lead to significant loss of function and substance.
    • Reconstructing the first metacarpal, crucial for hand dexterity, presents unique challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case involving extensive hand damage required complex surgical intervention.
    • The primary goal was to restore the proximal articular surface of the first metacarpal.

    Findings:

    • Multiple surgical procedures were employed for hand reconstruction.
    • The palmaris longus tendon was utilized to stabilize the proximal articular surface.
    • This technique successfully created a stable proximal articulation for a mobile segment.

    Implications:

    • This reconstructive approach offers a viable solution for severe hand injuries.
    • Restoring first metacarpal function is key to improving hand dexterity and quality of life.
    • The use of the palmaris longus tendon provides a stable base for functional hand recovery.
