1 Upper Extremity Care in an Aging Population Hand and Upper Extremity Center of Northeast Wisconsin, Ltd. Symposium February 24, Objectives Wrist Injuries/Pain by Jon J. Cherney, M.D. Anatomy History/Evaluation Late effects Complexities 3 4 Wrist Fractures Fractures of the Distal Radius 5 6 1
2 Anatomy Angular alignment Radial inclination - 20 degrees Volar tilt - 12 degrees Radial length, +/- 2 mm Essentials of Hand Surgery 2002 Anatomy Ulnar head anatomy Largely covered by articular cartilage Cylindrical shape Ulnar styloid Dorsal and volar radioulnar ligaments insert at base Ulnar Groove Dorsal to ulnar styloid Extensor carpi ulnaris resides in groove 7 8 Ligamentous Anatomy Ligamentous Anatomy Volar ligament complex ASSH Original Artwork 9 Dorsal ligament complex Dorsal radiocarpal ligament (radius->triquetrum) Dorsal intercarpal ligament (triquetrum->distal scaphoid) Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) Volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments Articular disc 10 ASSH Original Artwork Demographics Mechanism of Injury Incidence ~15% of all extremity fractures Most common upper extremity fracture Age range Low energy fractures More common Two peak age ranges 6-12 years > 60 years (female predominance)» Pathologic/osteopenia High energy fractures Young adults (MVA) Working males (fall from height) 11 Low energy Fall from standing height Extension mechanism Primary mechanism (90%) Land on palm with extended wrist Tension failure through volar cortex Fracture propagates to dorsal cortex which fails in compression Flexion mechanism Less common Fall on flexed wrist Dorsal cortex fails in tension Essentials of Hand Surgery
3 Evaluation Clinical examination Motor and sensory evaluation of median, ulnar and superficial radial nerves Consider acute carpal tunnel syndrome for severely displaced fractures Evaluate for open fracture Evaluate vascular status Assess compromise of soft tissues due to severe deformity Evaluation Radiographic evaluation Standard AP and lateral radiographs Oblique radiographs Evaluate for nondisplaced fractures not visualized on the AP and lateral views 20 degree lateral- evaluate lunate facet Computerized tomography with coronal and sagittal reconstructions to evaluate articular surface if needed Principles of Treatment Goals For given severity of fracture, the general functional outcome correlates with maintenance/restoration of normal distal radial morphology Physiologic age significant factor in the above Digital stiffness correlates with poor functional outcome Principles of Treatment Radiographic Goals Intra-articular step-off(b) /gap(a) Restoration of articular congruity <= 2 mm Significant (>2 mm) stepoff ->radiographic evidence of post-traumatic arthritis (Knirk and Jupiter, JBJS 1986) Radial length(c) within 2 mm of normal Dorsal tilt, neutral to no more than 10 º Note capitolunate angle Essentials of Hand Surgery 2002 A B C Principles of Treatment Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) Congruity Stability Radiographic-? Reduced on true lateral Clinical assessment Treatment Recommendations Must be individualized Physiologic age Individual needs Medical co-morbidities Primary decision non-operative vs. operative treatment
4 Specific Treatment Recommendations Non-displaced fractures Immobilization Short arm cast Well-molded thermoplastic splint or bivalve splint Off-the-shelf splint Follow up 7 to 10 days after initiation of treatment to check for displacement 19 Specific Treatment Recommendations Non-displaced fractures? early active range of motion at 4 weeks Reliable patient Wean/discontinue immobilization after 6 weeks Occupational therapy occasionally necessary Risk of EPL rupture Rare Occurs late (beyond 6 weeks) 20 Specific Treatment Recommendations Specific Treatment Recommendations Displaced fractures Attempt closed reduction Hematoma block +/- IV sedation Initial splint or cast Plaster or fiberglass Long arm or short arm Position of rotation: arguments for pronation, neutral and supination exist 21 Displaced fractures Post reduction radiographs Remain acceptable Follow up at 6 weeks» Removable splint/ instruct in gentle ROM Follow up at 8 weeks - evaluate need for therapy 6 months to maximum range of motion and strength Up to 1 year maximum subjective improvement Are unacceptable identified at 0, 1, 2, or 3 weeks Usually recommend change to operative treatment May consider re-reduction in first one to two weeks 22 Operative Treatment Options Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CR/PP) External fixation (ExFix) Arthroscopically assisted reduction Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) Dorsal approach/ plate Volar approach/ plate Fragment specific fixation Combination of above Bone graft/ bone graft substitute 23 Operative Treatment Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CR/PP) Indications Isolated radial styloid fracture Minimal comminution Intrafocal vs. extrafocal pinning Intrafocal- pins placed in fracture site and act like buttress pins Extrafocal- pins used to pin fragment(s) to proximal unfractured metaphysis Oscillating driver Requires supplemental casting Pins removed in 6 weeks Rehab similar to closed treatment 24 4
5 Operative Treatment External fixation (ExFix) Indications Displaced fractures Comminution Able to achieve satisfactory reduction via closed or percutaneous means Stabilize fracture via ligamentotaxis May be supplemented with percutaneous pinning or limited internal fixation Fixator may be used as a neutralization device Must be supplemented with percutaneous pinning or limited internal fixation Operative Treatment Arthroscopically assisted articular reduction May be used to evaluate/ manipulate articular surface in conjunction with Percutaneous Pinning with or without External Fixation Limited open procedures Best done within the first few weeks Operative Treatment Volar buttress plate Uses plate to support fractures of volar margin of distal radius Relies on solid screw fixation at uninvolved radial shaft Primarily indicated for partial articular fractures of the volar rim (volar Barton) Screw fixation at the metaphysis is optional and not always reliable Volar approach through the FCR sheath (Henry approach) Consider concomitant carpal tunnel release Operative Treatment Fragment specific fixation Generally excellent stability allowing early range of motion Learning curve Somewhat steep Technique somewhat tedious Associated Ulnar Fractures Ulnar styloid Usually requires no specific treatment Basilar ulnar styloid fracture may contain peripheral ulnar attachment of the TFCC Resultant distal radioulnar joint instability Requires fixation (screw, pin, tension band) if displaced Nonunion occasionally source of persistent ulnar pain Ulnar head/neck Nondisplaced fractures may be managed in a closed fashion Displaced or unstable fractures may require 29 ORIF Aftercare for Surgical Treatment Immediate range of motion of digits/elbow/shoulder; +/- forearm Within 10 days (if stable) - thermoplastic removable splint Except percutaneous pinning and ex-fix Supervised (OT) range of motion of wrist and forearm Remove for hygiene Follow up within 10 days to repeat x-rays By four weeks, begin to wean from splint 30 5
6 Aftercare for Surgical Treatment At six weeks, early strengthening and discontinue splint Full activity at 10 to 12 weeks, including weight-bearing If unstable or external fixation, then above is delayed for six weeks Complications Stiffness - digits/wrist/forearm Carpal tunnel syndrome CRPS Infection Symptomatic hardware Hardware failure Pain Post-traumatic arthritis Malunion Non-union 31 Courtesy of John G. Seiler, MD 32 Fractures and Dislocations of the Carpus Scaphoid Fractures 60-80% of carpal fractures Waist fractures Requires twice the force needed to cause a distal radius fracture Common in Athletes Males Motor vehicle accidents Examination Imaging Wrist swelling Tender snuff box Tender dorsal scaphoid Tender scaphoid tubercle Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD 35 Non-displaced fractures frequently missed on initial radiographs Scaphoid normally rests in 45 o of flexion relative to the radius Result: a fracture may not be visible if it rests in a plane oblique to beam of radiograph Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD 36 6
7 Scaphoid Oblique Occult scaphoid fracture Posteroanterior (PA) view with wrist in ulnar deviation and the beam angled 20 o distal to proximal Will often show fractures not seen on PA or lateral view 37 Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD PA view Scaphoid Oblique 38 Other imaging tools Bone scan Sensitive, not specific CT scan Take in plane of scaphoid Sensitive, defines comminution and angulation of the fractured scaphoid Excellent to assess healing MR Sensitive, defines vascularity of proximal pole Non-operative treatment with cast Wrist position (Jupiter et al. AAOS ICL #50, 2001) Palmar flexion and radial deviation Reduces the gap, but may lead to collapse Ulnar deviation Helps reduction; may cause distraction Neutral position: just right Consider long arm cast for 6 weeks followed by short arm cast until healed for: Patient Smoker Poor compliance Fracture All proximal pole Waist fracture at risk Comminution Oblique Fracture separation 41 Duration of immobilization Distal pole: 4 to 6 wks Waist fracture: 6 to 8 weeks Proximal pole: 6 weeks to 4 months 42 7
8 Some surgeons consider surgical treatment for the at risk fracture to avoid the morbidity of prolonged immobilization. Some surgeons consider surgery for all fractures to minimize the duration of immobilization Surgical Treatment for Scaphoid Fractures Questions to answer Is it fresh? Is it displaced? Is there arthritis? Techniques Wrist dislocations with fracture Percutaneous or limited open Open reduction & fixation Vascularized bone grafts Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD Priorities Median nerve Skin Associated carpal injuries Initial Treatment Attempt closed reduction Yes when there is nerve compromise or gross deformity of the wrist Open surgical reduction Required for most wrist dislocations and fracture dislocations
9 Surgical Approach Dorsal Combined Pre-reduction Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD Post-reduction; no smile on PA, scaphoid broken, can t draw line on lateral Support for both. Either can be done in the absence of acute carpal tunnel syndrome Post-operative Care Cast for 8 weeks Splint for 4 weeks; allow intermittent motion out of splint Pins out at 12 weeks Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD Expected Outcome Scaphoid heals Carpal position maintained Wrist stiffness Midcarpal arthritis (about 50%) Note restoration of smile, rhomboidshaped lunate Courtesy of Mark E. Baratz, MD
