Abstract

Early motion programs for extensor tendon lacerations and repairs are relatively new and are proving to be extremely beneficial in the rehabilitation process. This article discusses when these programs are indicated and the details of how to provide a good early motion program.

A simple technique for testing the viability of cross-finger pedicle flaps.

A simple test to determine the viability of cross-finger pedicle flaps is described. This test can be performed in the office or operating theatre to help determine the optimal timing for division of the flap pedicle.

Transthecal digital block at the proximal phalanx.

This study assessed the efficacy of a modified transthecal digital block. Three-hundred-and-sixty consecutive digits were anaesthetised with this technique for the treatment of fractures, infections and foreign bodies. Complete palmar and dorsal anaesthesia was achieved in 357 of the 360 digits (99%), including 52 of 53 thumbs (98%). The technique was extremely easy to perform and no complications occurred.

[Flexor and extensor tendon injuries of the hand].

Injuries of the flexor tendon are usually open injuries. In most cases primary treatment is therefore seldom performed by orthopaedic surgeons. This is different for injuries of the extensor tendon. Three quarters of injuries of the extensor tendon are closed injuries. Therefore we do go into primary and secondary reconstruction of the flexor tendon, but focus on primary and secondary reconstruction of the extensor tendon in the most common zones (1, Th I, 3, Th III).
