Fracture stabilisation and soft tissue care are equal prerequisites for an uncomplicated course of treatment and a good functional result. However, challenges arise in cases of extensive wound contamination and compromised perfusion, limiting options for stable osteosynthesis in emergency situations. Furthermore, resource constraints may pose a challenge to adhering strictly to the six-hour time window. This prompts deliberations on whether, under certain circumstances, a deviation from the conventional approach is feasible by exploring the possibility of prioritising immediate surgical wound care during emergencies, with definitive fracture care deferred to a later point in time. Between 2019 and 2021, 301 patients with open fractures of the hand skeleton were treated (median age 44 years, 85% male, 15% female). Definitive treatment was carried out as a primary emergency procedure in 215 patients (group A), whereas it was performed at an interval after an average of 3 days in 86 patients (group B), who had received surgical wound care, splint placement, and antibiotic coverage on the day of the injury. In a retrospective study, the following criteria were analysed: comorbidities, injury patterns, injury location, timing of treatment, number of follow-up procedures, infection rate, and duration of hospitalisation. The course was complicated by infection in six patients (1.9%). Five of these patients were in group A (infection rate 2.3%), and only one patient was in group B (infection rate 1.1%). All six infections occurred after crush injuries, all at the fingertip or end joint. These numbers underscore the relevance of soft tissue trauma and primary stump formation. Comorbidities were not statistically significant in our study with a view to the occurrence of infection. In conclusion, it can be stated that, with antibiotic protection, definitive treatment of an open fracture in an interval is possible if it is preceded by initial emergency surgical wound care with subsequent immobilisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":55075,"journal":{"name":"Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical symptoms are based on a positive compression test; pain occurs with weight-bearing on the forearm. This phenomenon is seen in conjunction with a deformed sigmoid notch together with ulna minus-variance, which leads to increased tension in the distal oblique bundle of the interosseous membrane. The etiology of the condition can be either congenital, post-traumatic, or iatrogenic. Through the proposed osteotomy, decompression in the DRUJ is achieved. This study summarises the results of these surgical procedures performed in our hand centre exclusively in cases of congenital origin.</p><p><strong>Patients und methods: </strong>Remodelling of the DRUJ is achieved through the shortening of the distal radius together with closed wedge osteotomy. Relief of the interosseous membrane is accomplished by ulnar translation of the radial shaft. This study only included patients with congenital incongruency in the DRUJ. The results were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Krimmer Wrist Score and by measuring the preoperative and postoperative range of motion as well as grip strength.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Within 11 years, 45 procedures were performed with our method on 38 patients, of which 17 were treated on the right side, 14 on the left side, and 7 bilaterally. In cases of bilateral incongruency, only the symptomatic side was treated. The statistical evaluation showed a significant reduction of pain on the VAS from 7.2 to 2 (p<0.001). No significant changes were seen in the range of motion (p=0.812). The Krimmer Wrist Score showed good to excellent results in almost 90% of cases.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>If the indication criteria are met, contraindications are avoided and the osteotomy is correctly performed, this technique leads to an improvement of patients' functionality and quality of life. From a preventive viewpoint, the influence on the progression of the degenerative changes is yet to be demonstrated in further studies. At any rate, this is a safe procedure, which leaves the path open for other possible options.</p>","PeriodicalId":55075,"journal":{"name":"Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141499689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the traditional resection arthroplasty with tendon suspension or interposition, if needed, thumb saddle joint prostheses are being used more and more frequently. However, these are not an option for all patients such as those with severe osteoporosis, severe nickel allergy, insufficient height of the trapezium or STT osteoarthritis. This study examined whether the traditional surgical methods continue to have their \"right to exist\" or whether they will be replaced by prostheses. In a retrospective study with prospective data collection, 48 hands of 45 patients diagnosed with rhizarthrosis in stages II and III according to Eaton and Littler were clinically examined 2.5 years after resection arthroplasty/resection-suspension-interposition arthroplasty using flexor carpi radialis (FCR) or abductor pollicis longus (APL) tendon strips in the years 2015-2018. The postoperative outcome was assessed using mobility, grip strength, two-point discrimination, postoperative satisfaction with regard to pain and resilience, as well as the DASH and MHQ questionnaires. There were no significant differences in surgery duration, inability to work, time to full weight-bearing, pain, satisfaction, grip strength and mobility. Regardless of the surgical method used, patients achieved an almost free range of motion in the thumb and wrist as well as age-appropriate hand strength. Pain at rest was rare; 48% were pain-free during exercise. The DASH questionnaire scored 20.2, 13.9 and 22.1 points and the MHQ scored 76.3, 79.3 and 79.4 points. Hence, the traditional surgical techniques showed good postoperative results with high patient satisfaction. \"Newer procedures\" such as endoprosthesis offer promising results in terms of faster regeneration times. However, this is offset by a longer surgery time and higher material costs, which means that resection arthroplasty represents a long-established procedure with a low potential for complications and a lower revision rate and should continue to be used, especially if there are relative contraindications to an endoprosthesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":55075,"journal":{"name":"Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140177841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
