A 32year-old man had a 5-month history of persistent wrist pain. Finkelstein’s test and MRI results were positive for de Quervain’s disease. After an adequate period of unsuccessful non-operative treatment, we proceeded to surgery. Through a transverse skin incision, the retinaculum of the first dorsal compartment was divided longitudinally along its dorsal margin. The tendons of abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) were released and checked for subluxation through passive wrist flexion and extension – single APL and EPB tendons were found without the presence of a subcompartment. The patient’s hand and thumb were placed in a bulky bandage and sutures were removed at 2 weeks. We advised avoidance of heavy mechanical activities for 6 weeks. Eight months later, he returned describing a painful snapping in his wrist. Clinical examination revealed dorsal dislocation of APL and EPB tendons during wrist extension. The patient admitted starting weightlifting shortly after suture removal and stated that the symptoms began 3 months after surgery. We proceeded to secondary surgery. The former skin incision was extended proximally and distally in a zig-zag fashion. Both tendons dislocated dorsally during wrist extension (Video 1). A longitudinal incision was made in the remaining palmar extensor retinaculum, elevating a 3 by 1.5 cm strip, distally based (Figure 1). This was passed deep to APL and EPB tendons from palmar to dorsal side (Figure 2), and then superficial to the tendons suturing it back to its origin at the palmar retinaculum with two 4-0 nonabsorbable sutures. The dorsal border of this sling was secured with two 4-0 nonabsorbable sutures to the dorsal remnant of the retinaculum (Figure 3), ensuring that tendon gliding was unobstructed with no palmar or dorsal subluxation (Video 2). Postoperatively, a thumb spica was applied for 4 weeks. Three years postoperatively the patient remains asymptomatic, with no recurrence of tendon dislocation, a normal range of motion and a negative Finkelstein test. He has returned to work.","PeriodicalId":73762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hand surgery (Edinburgh, Scotland)","volume":"45 1","pages":"92 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1753193419871862","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48531742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following skin closure, vascularization of the flap was verified after releasing the tourniquet. Six months postoperatively, at the final follow-up, the patient showed a well-aligned and mobile thumb with a well-preserved first web space (Figure 3). First web deepening using Z-plasty or other skin mobilization techniques from the surrounding skin are the usual methods to treat an associated contracted first web space in radial polydactyly (Ogino et al., 1996; Townsend et al., 1994). A random rotation flap from the removed thumb or from the index finger has been also used (Ogino et al., 1996). The use of a neurovascular island flap from the removed thumb has been mentioned, although no technical details or images were provided (Ogino et al., 1996). The advantages of using a flap to widen the first web space include improvement of the web contour by keeping the height of the web and avoiding a ‘cleftlike’ appearance, which can be seen following conventional skin mobilization techniques (Fraulin and Thomson, 1999). In addition, 95% of duplicated thumbs present at least one palmar collateral artery, which should increase the utility of this surgical option (Kitayama and Tsukada, 1983). Coexistence of the first web contracture with radial polydactyly treated with a vascularized palmar flap obtained from the ablated thumb can result in potentially better cosmetic results as compared with deepening techniques.","PeriodicalId":73762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hand surgery (Edinburgh, Scotland)","volume":"45 1","pages":"88 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1753193419871521","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45939329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire was used to measure patient satisfaction. Receiver operating characteristic curves were created using patient satisfaction as the reference standard and each functional measure as a predictor. At 12 months after treatment, mean grip strength was 82% of normal and mean arc of motion was 88% of normal. The optimal cut-off points to distinguish satisfaction from dissatisfaction occurred when patients recovered 59% of hand strength and 79% of wrist motion.

Between 2014 and 2017, we used a 4- or 6-strand method to repair 111 flexor digitorum profundus tendons in Zone 2, followed by true early active motion. Two had repair ruptures. Among 101 fingers followed over 6 months, two fingers had tenolysis and 87 (87%) good or excellent outcomes. In 2018 to 2019, we used a 6-strand method to repair 42 flexor digitorum profundus tendons in Zone 2 with out-of-splint early active motion. None had repair ruptures or tenolysis.
