Abstract
Failed implants of the proximal interphalangeal joint may result in bone and soft tissue deficits and joint instability with limited reliable options for reconstruction besides an arthrodesis procedure. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the use of vascularized second toe joint for salvage of failed, multi-operated proximal interphalangeal joint in two active patients. Pre-existing scars are used to define the approach and choice of donor site. Flow through anastomosis was performed on the finger digital artery. At final follow-up, the transplanted joints achieved 80–90 degrees of motion and the patients were able to return to their desired level of activities. The procedure is a good alternative for the fit patient wanting to achieve a stable finger with preservation of motion in catastrophic failure of prosthetic proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty.
期刊介绍:
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
