    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomechanics
    • Hand surgery

    Context:

    • Arthrodesis, or joint fusion, is a common procedure for treating finger joint instability and arthritis.
    • Various surgical techniques exist for achieving compression arthrodesis of finger joints.
    • Evaluating the biomechanical stability of these techniques is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the biomechanical stability of different compression arthrodesis techniques for finger joints.
    • To quantify the compression forces achieved by various fixation methods.
    • To assess the resistance to deflection momentum for each technique.

    Summary:

    • This study describes general techniques for finger joint arthrodesis and presents biomechanical measurements comparing screws, crossed Kirschner wires, tension band wiring, Swiss AO compression plates, and Mittelmeier self-compressing crescent plates.

  • Screws yielded the highest compression (25-34 kp).
  • The Mittelmeier self-compressing plate achieved approximately 18 kp compression and demonstrated high resistance to deflection when inserted edgewise.

    • Impact:

    • Provides valuable biomechanical data to guide the selection of optimal fixation methods for finger joint arthrodesis.
    • Informs orthopedic surgeons on the comparative stability of different techniques, potentially improving fusion rates and functional recovery.
    • Highlights the effectiveness of screw fixation for achieving maximal compression in finger joint arthrodesis.
