Several therapeutic options are available, including pyrocarbon interposition implants. The primary endpoint of this study was assessment of clinical and radiographic outcomes in 34 patients treated with HAPY® pyrocarbon interposition implants (Tornier, Grenoble, France) with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. The secondary endpoint was to assess complications and the need for revision surgery.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Thirty-four patients (61 implants) who underwent metacarpophalangeal arthroplasty with the HAPY® implant were reviewed with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. The etiology was inflammatory (rheumatoid arthritis) in 18 cases (37 implants), primary osteoarthritis in 16 (21 implants), and post-traumatic in 3 (3 implants). Preoperative data comprised age, gender, operated finger, etiology (inflammatory, primary or post-traumatic), digital chain mobility, pain assessment on visual analog scale, grip strength on a standardized handheld dynamometer, and functional scores including QuickDASH and the Patient-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation. Immediate postoperative radiographs (anteroposterior, lateral and oblique views) centered on the metacarpophalangeal joint were compared with those at last follow-up. Metacarpal and phalangeal implant subsidence were assessed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At a mean follow-up of 71.5 months, pain score was reduced by a mean 5.4 points: 6.4/10 versus 1/10 (p < 0.001). The mean active range of motion in flexion-extension showed a significant improvement of 27°: 42.9 ° versus 70 ° (p < 0.001). The QuickDASH and Patient-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation functional scores significantly improved by a mean 26.7 points (50.6 ± 20.1 versus 23.9 ± 25 (p < 0.001)) and 32.8 points (53.58 ± 21.6 versus 20.77 ± 22.1 (p < 0.001)), respectively. Comparison between pre- and post-operative grip strength did not show a significant difference. 94% of patients reported being satisfied with the procedure, while 6% were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. One of the dissatisfied patients developed type 1 complex regional pain syndrome, while the other had persistent pain and stiffness. Mean implant subsidence in the metacarpal was 0.48 mm ± 4.2 mm, and in the first phalanx 3.6 mm ± 9.6 mm. One patient (2.9%) experienced implant dislocation in the immediate postoperative period. No further implant dislocations were observed during follow-up.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>The HAPY® interpositional implant provided good clinical and radiographic outcomes for the management of long finger arthritis, offering functional results and improvement in range of motion, comparable to other series. The HAPY® interpositional implant has the advantage of being non-constrained and maximizing bone stock.</p>","PeriodicalId":94023,"journal":{"name":"Hand surgery & rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"102068"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142873688","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}

While much is known about the effect of prominent hardware in the volar and dorsal metaepiphyseal region of the distal radius, less is known about the effect of hardware prominence in the dorsal meta-diaphyseal region. The purpose of this anatomic study was to evaluate the safety of dorsal screw penetration at the proximal holes of volar locking plates. We applied a 7-hole volar locking plate to the distal radius of 10 cadaver forearms. Screws were intentionally protruding on the dorsal side. Measurements were taken from each protruding dorsal screw-tip to the nearest point on the abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, extensor pollicis longus and extensor digitorum communis, noting whether the nearest point was on the tendon or muscle belly. Results indicated that the muscle bellies of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis were the structures most at risk from dorsal screw prominence, and that there was a smooth transition from the extensor pollicis brevis to abductor pollicis longus being the focus of risk as one moves from distal to proximal along the plate. The extensor pollicis brevis was most at risk at hole 3, and the abductor pollicis longus was most at risk at hole 6. All cases of direct contact between a protruding screw and the abductor pollicis longus or extensor pollicis brevis consisted of contact with the muscle belly, not the tendon. Average anteroposterior distal radius thickness ranged from 13.9 mm at the most distal proximal screw hole to 11.5 mm at the most proximal screw hole. We also found that the extensor pollicis longus tendon was at risk of contact with a protruding screw, but only at the most distal proximal screw hole. Overall, dorsal screw penetration at the proximal holes of volar locking plates appeared to be safe, particularly as one moves proximally along the plate.</p>","PeriodicalId":94023,"journal":{"name":"Hand surgery & rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"102047"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782238","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}
