1 Common Injuries of the Hand, Wrist, & Elbow Terry M. Messer, MD October 25, 2007
2 Introduction! Hand, Wrist, & Elbow Injuries are common! Increase in intensity/frequency of sports training! Sedentary lifestyle Computer/Desk job! Age related changes occur in bones, joints, ligaments, & muscle-tendon units
3 Introduction! Acute traumatic event or continuum of overuse " bone or soft tissue injury! Stages of Healing! Inflammatory! Proliferative! Maturation! Fibrosis
4 Introduction! Healing Times General! Bone heals faster than ligament (exception carpal bones)! Phalangeal fractures 3-4 wks.! Metacarpal fractures 4-5 wks.! Distal radius 6 wks.! Scaphoid 6-20 wks.! Ligaments 6-12 wks. (depends upon location & severity of injury)! Children heal faster than adults! Smoking, Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Malnutrition " Prolonged Healing
5 Age Related Changes in Tendon, Ligament, Joint Capsule, & Bone! Fibroblasts! Form major part of tendon, ligament, capsule! With aging, cells flatten, elongate, & lose most of protein producing cell organelles " less able to respond to injury! Several factors may contribute to age-related increase in injury! Decreasing blood supply! Decrease in collagen cross-links (and water content)! Decrease in collagen organization! " decrease in tensile stiffness and ultimate load to failure! Orthopaedic Knowledge Update 8! Body makes less new bone after age 35 " Osteopenia or Osteoporosis
6 Introduction! Treatment of Upper Extremity Injuries! NSAIDs! Ibuprofen Motrin, Advil! Naprosyn Alleve! Mobic,, Relafen, Feldene! Celebrex! Splinting! Therapy! Corticosteroid Injection! Surgery
7 Introduction! Prompt, appropriate treatment " quicker healing time & more rapid return to function
8 Introduction! Overview of Common Injuries! Hand! Wrist! Elbow! Sprains! Tendon Injuries/Tendonitis! Fractures
9 Hand
10 Mallet Finger/Mallet Fracture! Jammed finger! Pain, swelling, inability to extend at DIP joint! X-ray
11 Mallet Finger/Mallet Fracture! Treatment - Splint DIP joint in full extension for 8 weeks! Therapy sometimes needed! Surgery rarely indicated
12 Jersey Finger! Making a tackle; catching a ball! Pain, swelling, unable to flex DIP joint! Xray! Ultrasound or MRI
13 Jersey Finger
14 Jersey Finger! Surgical Treatment repair tendon to bone! Post-op Therapy for 2-4 months
15 Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP)! Jammed finger! Swollen, painful PIP joint! Tender to palpation, dec.. ROM; increased laxity! X-ray Joint Sprain
16 PIP Joint Sprain! Dislocation more severe variant
17 ! Treatment: PIP Joint Sprain! SPLINT for 7-10 days, then buddy tape to adjacent digit for 3-5 wks.! Younger patient chronic volar plate laxity
18
19 ! Treatment: PIP Joint Sprain! Older patient - Stiffness biggest problem! Swelling & DEC. ROM can persist for 3-6 months
20 26 yr old NC State Grad. Student who injured finger playing basketball Lateral X-ray post reduction
21 At 1 week, transitioned to mallet splint & dorsal extension block splint Xrays 6 wks. post injury; Patient had no pain or tenderness
22 34 yr old male with unstable PIP fx.- disloc.
23 Central Slip Rupture/ Boutonniere Deformity! Clinical presentation similar to sprain! Tender central slip! Unable to fully extend at PIP joint! X-ray
24 Central Slip Rupture/ Boutonniere Deformity! Treatment! Splint PIP joint in full extension for 6-8 weeks! Surgery when splinting fails! Chronic injuries difficult to treat early diagnosis & referral is essential!
25
26

32 Metacarpal or Phalangeal Fracture! Swollen, painful digit/hand after trauma! PE! Soft tissue wound, swelling! Deformity evaluate in flexion & extension! Tenderness! X-ray! Finger only if single digit! Hand if metacarpal or multiple digits
33 Metcarpal or Phalangeal Fracture! Treatment - for non-displaced & certain minimally displaced fractures " splint! Thermoplast vs. Plaster! Immobilize joint proximal & distal to affected bone! Intrinsic plus position minimizes joint stiffness
34 Metcarpal or Phalangeal Fracture! Treatment - for displaced, angulated fractures or those with clinical/rotational deformity " CRPP vs. ORIF! Articular fractures more worrisome! Post-op. splinting & therapy
