Abstract

This article outlines the historical development of midcarpal instability observations and terminology and places them in the broader context of currently accepted theories of wrist pathomechanics. Such an understanding may help resolve the following questions: Are there 1 or more entities under the current designation of midcarpal instability? What are the underlying pathogenesis and pathomechanics of the disorder(s)? What are the recommended treatment options? What further research needs to be done to better answer these questions?

Finger metacarpal fractures and dislocations in children.

Metacarpal fractures in the finger rays are common injuries in children's hands. Fractures of the finger metacarpals account for 10% to 39% of all hand fractures in children,especially in the 13- to 16-year age group. Most of these fractures can be treated success-fully nonoperatively, although a subset requires more aggressive treatment. Results following appropriate care of these fractures are generally good, although complications can occur. This article reviews fractures and dislocations involving the finger metacarpals in children, provides standard treatment algorithms, and highlights potential pit-falls in their management.

Degenerative and post-traumatic arthritis affecting the carpometacarpal joints of the fingers.

Symptomatic post-traumatic arthritis affecting the finger CMC joints is less common than might otherwise be expected based on the frequency of injury, especially to the fifth CMC joint. For the fifth CMC joint, the shallow concavoconvex articulation combined with the typical fracture location may provide a protective effect. Non-operative measures are typically successful, except in cases of missed fracture/dislocations and symptomatic joint instability. In these instances, re-construction emphasizes stability first, with an eye toward mobility for the ulnar column. It is common to detect a bony prominence in the region of the dorsal second and third CMC joints during examination of the hand. In most instances, the projection is asymptomatic and likely represents an os styloideum [18]. When painful and unresponsive to nonoperative treatments, this carpometacarpal boss can be excised surgically.

Traumatic dislocations and instability of the trapeziometacarpal joint of the thumb.

The surgeon treating traumatic injuries to the TMC joint should be aware of the fundamental misconceptions and pervasive axiomatic myths perpetuated in the medical literature: namely that the volar beak ligament is the prime stabilizer, that the dorsal ligament complex plays no significant role in TMC joint function, and that the APL is a deforming force in Bennett fractures. On the contrary, stability of the TMC joint in power pinch and power grasp depends on the TMC joint's two prime stabilizers, the volar beak of the thumb metacarpal and the dorsal radial ligament complex; and the APL is not a deforming force in a Bennett fracture. Screw-home-torque occurs in the final phase of opposition; the acute Bennett fracture can be treated closed and percutaneously fixed if the screw-home-torque technique is used to anatomically reduce the fracture. After soft tissue interposition, if a semi-acute Bennett fracture is diagnosed late, it should be treated open with a volar approach, the screw-home-torque reduction technique, and screw or pin fixation. Rolando multipart fractures of the thumb metacarpal into the TMC joint are best treated closed, with traction in opposition with pin fixation; pure dislocations of the TMC joint that tear the dorsal ligament complex and Bennett fractures with an associated dorsal ligament complex tear (as diagnosed by the screw-home-torque technique) require open reduction and dorsal ligament complex repair. The current literature is so replete with myths and folklore regarding the anatomy that a conscientious surgeon treating a traumatic dislocation or in-stability of the TMC joint should return to the cadaver room and carefully review and understand TMC joint anatomy.
