David Moss, MD
Osler Society
Overview
• Physical exam & anatomy
• Lacerations
• Fractures & Dislocations
• Arthritis, Contracture, Deformity
• Carpal Tunnel
• Infection
• On the horizon
Physical Exam/Anatomy
• Distal
phalanx
• Middle
phalanx
• Proximal
phalanx
• Metacarpal
• DIP joint
• PIP joint
• MCP
joint
• Proximal row
– Scaphoid
– Lunate
– Triquetrum
– Pisiform
• Distal row
– Trapezium
– Trapezoid
– Capitate
– Hamate
• Radius
• Ulna
Tendons
• Median
– C5-T1
• Ulnar
– C7-T1
• Radial
– C5-8
Lacerations
• A thorough exam can diagnose most
injuries. Try to avoid wound exploration
• Apply direct pressure to bleeders rather
than blindly clamping or tying off vessels
Assess posture of fingers
Flexor tendon laceration
• Assess active motion
– Flexor digitorum
profundus (FDP)
• Ask patient to flex DIP
while examiner
stabilizes the PIP and
MCP in extension
– Flexor digitorum
sublimus (FDS)
• Hold all fingers
extended except
affected finger, then
ask the patient to flex
affected finger
• Assess digital perfusion
– Color
– Turgor
– Capillary refill < 2 seconds
– Digital Allen’s test
• Nerves
– Radial digital nerve
– Ulnar digital nerve
Treatment
• Thorough I&D
• Tetanus
– Booster if > 5 years
– Immunoglobulin
• >10 year since last immunization
• Manure, puncture wounds, wounds >6 hours old
• Antibiotics
– 1st
generation cephalosporin for complex
wounds (Cefadroxil, Cephalexin)
– 3 – 5 day course
• Suture of simple superficial lacerations
• Surgical repair of complex deep wounds
Mammalian Bites
• 80-90% of all bites are dog bites
• I&D and then loose closure
• Debride puncture wounds (cats) – do not suture
• Consider tetanus and rabies prophylaxis
• Antibiotic goal is to cover:
– Staphylococci, Streptococci, anaerobes, and
Pasteurella species.
– Augmentin 875 BID
– 3 - 5 day course
• Human bites
– Fight bite – I&D in OR
• Dog bites
– Staphylococcus species
– Streptococcus species
– Eikenella species
– Pasteurella species
– Proteus species
– Klebsiella species
– Haemophilus species
– Enterobacter species
– DF-2 or Capnocytophaga
canimorsus
– Bacteroides species
– Moraxella species
– Corynebacterium species
– Neisseria species
– Fusobacterium species
– Prevotella species
– Porphyromonas species
• Cat bites
– Pasteurella species
– Actinomyces species
– Propionibacterium
species
– Bacteroides species
– Fusobacterium species
– Clostridium species
– Wolinella species
– Peptostreptococcus
species
– Staphylococcus species
– Streptococcus species
Fractures &
Dislocations
• Assess neurovascular status
• Reduce dislocations/deformity urgently
• Open fractures
– Emergency operative care for I&D, IV abx
– Not the same operative urgency as lower
extremity injuries
• Splint for comfort and stability
Phalanx fractures
• Deforming forces
– Flexor tendons
– Extensor tendons
– Difficult to maintain
reduction
– Operative
management often
required for displaced
fractures – CRPP vs.
ORIF
• Rotational deformity
Mallet finger
Treatment
Metacarpal fracture
• Acceptable angulation
up to 40° in some
cases
• Boxer’s fracture – 5th
metacarpal neck
Scissoring
Carpal fractures
• Scaphoid
– TTP in “snuff box”
• Thumb spica even if
normal x-rays
– Poor vascularity
• Slow to heal
• Non-unions common
– MRI can help to
diagnose acute non-
displaced fractures
Distal radius fractures
• “Colles fracture”
• Fall onto outstretched
hand
• Closed reduction
required for displaced
fractures
• Beware of open
fracture – open ulnar
puncture
• Operative intervention for unstable
fractures
– ORIF now more common than ex fix
– Locking technology
Fragility fracture
• Fracture from low-energy events
• Hip, spine, proximal humerus, distal radius
• DEXA scan
• Labs to exclude other causes
• Treatment
– Bisphosphonates
– Hormone replacement
Deformity:
Arthritis/Contracture/Tumor
Ganglion
• 60% of hand lesions
• Benign fluid filled sac
– Not a true cyst – lacks epithelial
lining
– Glucosamine, albumin,
hyaluronic acid, globulin
• Communicates with joint or
tendon sheath
• Women > men = 3:1
• Soft, mobile, transilluminates
Treatment
• Observation – up to 50% spontaneous
resolution
• Aspiration
– +/- steroid injection
– >50% recurrence
– Avoid aspiration for volar ganglion
• Surgical excision
– <5% recurrence
– Open or arthroscopic
Basal Joint Arthritis
• Symptoms
– Pain at base of thumb
at carpo-metacarpal
joint
– Pain with heavy grip
and pinch
• Lifting pots
• Turning keys
• X-rays
– Spurs/osteophytes
– Collapsed joint space
Treatment
• Initial
– Thumb spica splint
– NSAIDs
– Activity modification
• Injection – steroid
• Surgery
– Resect trapezium
– +/- LRTI
Dupuytren’s Contracture
• Contracture of palmar
fascia
• Progressive deformity
• Men >> Women
• Autosomal dominant
• Northern European/
Scandanavian/British
Cord Contracture
Nodules
Pitting
Treatment
• Surgical excision
– Painful nodules
– Contracture > 30°
• Needle aponeurotomy
• Collagenase
– Injected into cord
– Recent FDA approval
Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Median nerve
compressed by
transverse carpal
ligament at wrist
Symptoms
• Pain & numbness
• Grip weakness
• Women > Men
• Nocturnal pain
• Only associated
occupational risk:
– Jack hammer use
Treatment
• R/o cervical etiology
• Night splinting
• +/- Injection
• Surgical release
– Open
– Endoscopic
Infection
Paronychia
• S Aureus
• Pseudomonas
• Candida
• Acute treatment:
– warm soaks
– 1st
gen cephalosporin
– 3-5 days
• Abscess: office I&D
Felon
• Infection of volar
distal pulp
• Usually S Aureus
• Rx
– I&D
– 1st
gen cephalosporin
• 3-5 days
Supporative Flexor Tenosynovitis
• Infection of flexor tendon sheath
• S Aureus & Gr A Beta Hemolytic Strep
Kanavel’s Cardinal Signs
• Flexed posture
• Pain with passive
extension
• Fusiform swelling –
“Sausage digit”
• Tenderness along
flexor tendon
Treatment
• Emergency I&D
• Antibiotics
What’s New?
Platelet-Rich Plasma
• Autologous blood with
platelet concentration
> baseline values
• Growth factors recruit
reparative cells,
enhance healing
Growth Factors in PRP
• Platelet-derived growth factor
– Platelets Stimulates cell replication, angiogenesis, mitogen for
fibroblasts
• Vascular endothelial growth factor
– Platelets Angiogenesis
• Transforming growth factor-β1
– Platelets Key regulator in balance between fibrosis and myocyte
regeneration
• Fibroblast growth factor
– Platelets Stimulates proliferation of myoblasts,angiogenesis
• Epidermal growth factor
– Platelets Proliferation of mesenchymal and epithelial cells, potentiation
of other growth factors
• Hepatocyte growth factor
– Plasma Angiogenesis, mitogen for endothelial cells, antifibrotic
• Insulin-like growth factor-1
– Plasma Stimulates myoblasts and fibroblasts, mediates growth and
repair of skeletal muscle
• Exciting treatment
option
• Lots of potential
• Excellent safety profile
• Awaiting definitive
supporting evidence
Thank You

Basics of Hand Surgery

  • 1. Basics of Hand Surgery David Moss, MD Osler Society
  • 2. Overview • Physical exam & anatomy • Lacerations • Fractures & Dislocations • Arthritis, Contracture, Deformity • Carpal Tunnel • Infection • On the horizon
  • 4. • Distal phalanx • Middle phalanx • Proximal phalanx • Metacarpal • DIP joint • PIP joint • MCP joint
  • 5. • Proximal row – Scaphoid – Lunate – Triquetrum – Pisiform • Distal row – Trapezium – Trapezoid – Capitate – Hamate • Radius • Ulna
  • 7. • Median – C5-T1 • Ulnar – C7-T1 • Radial – C5-8
  • 9. • A thorough exam can diagnose most injuries. Try to avoid wound exploration • Apply direct pressure to bleeders rather than blindly clamping or tying off vessels
  • 10. Assess posture of fingers
  • 12. • Assess active motion – Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) • Ask patient to flex DIP while examiner stabilizes the PIP and MCP in extension – Flexor digitorum sublimus (FDS) • Hold all fingers extended except affected finger, then ask the patient to flex affected finger
  • 13. • Assess digital perfusion – Color – Turgor – Capillary refill < 2 seconds – Digital Allen’s test • Nerves – Radial digital nerve – Ulnar digital nerve
  • 14. Treatment • Thorough I&D • Tetanus – Booster if > 5 years – Immunoglobulin • >10 year since last immunization • Manure, puncture wounds, wounds >6 hours old • Antibiotics – 1st generation cephalosporin for complex wounds (Cefadroxil, Cephalexin) – 3 – 5 day course
  • 15. • Suture of simple superficial lacerations • Surgical repair of complex deep wounds
  • 16. Mammalian Bites • 80-90% of all bites are dog bites • I&D and then loose closure • Debride puncture wounds (cats) – do not suture • Consider tetanus and rabies prophylaxis • Antibiotic goal is to cover: – Staphylococci, Streptococci, anaerobes, and Pasteurella species. – Augmentin 875 BID – 3 - 5 day course • Human bites – Fight bite – I&D in OR
  • 17. • Dog bites – Staphylococcus species – Streptococcus species – Eikenella species – Pasteurella species – Proteus species – Klebsiella species – Haemophilus species – Enterobacter species – DF-2 or Capnocytophaga canimorsus – Bacteroides species – Moraxella species – Corynebacterium species – Neisseria species – Fusobacterium species – Prevotella species – Porphyromonas species • Cat bites – Pasteurella species – Actinomyces species – Propionibacterium species – Bacteroides species – Fusobacterium species – Clostridium species – Wolinella species – Peptostreptococcus species – Staphylococcus species – Streptococcus species
  • 19. • Assess neurovascular status • Reduce dislocations/deformity urgently • Open fractures – Emergency operative care for I&D, IV abx – Not the same operative urgency as lower extremity injuries • Splint for comfort and stability
  • 20. Phalanx fractures • Deforming forces – Flexor tendons – Extensor tendons – Difficult to maintain reduction – Operative management often required for displaced fractures – CRPP vs. ORIF • Rotational deformity
  • 23. Metacarpal fracture • Acceptable angulation up to 40° in some cases • Boxer’s fracture – 5th metacarpal neck
  • 25. Carpal fractures • Scaphoid – TTP in “snuff box” • Thumb spica even if normal x-rays – Poor vascularity • Slow to heal • Non-unions common – MRI can help to diagnose acute non- displaced fractures
  • 26. Distal radius fractures • “Colles fracture” • Fall onto outstretched hand • Closed reduction required for displaced fractures • Beware of open fracture – open ulnar puncture
  • 27. • Operative intervention for unstable fractures – ORIF now more common than ex fix – Locking technology
  • 28. Fragility fracture • Fracture from low-energy events • Hip, spine, proximal humerus, distal radius • DEXA scan • Labs to exclude other causes • Treatment – Bisphosphonates – Hormone replacement
  • 30. Ganglion • 60% of hand lesions • Benign fluid filled sac – Not a true cyst – lacks epithelial lining – Glucosamine, albumin, hyaluronic acid, globulin • Communicates with joint or tendon sheath • Women > men = 3:1 • Soft, mobile, transilluminates
  • 31. Treatment • Observation – up to 50% spontaneous resolution • Aspiration – +/- steroid injection – >50% recurrence – Avoid aspiration for volar ganglion • Surgical excision – <5% recurrence – Open or arthroscopic
  • 32. Basal Joint Arthritis • Symptoms – Pain at base of thumb at carpo-metacarpal joint – Pain with heavy grip and pinch • Lifting pots • Turning keys • X-rays – Spurs/osteophytes – Collapsed joint space
  • 33. Treatment • Initial – Thumb spica splint – NSAIDs – Activity modification • Injection – steroid • Surgery – Resect trapezium – +/- LRTI
  • 34. Dupuytren’s Contracture • Contracture of palmar fascia • Progressive deformity • Men >> Women • Autosomal dominant • Northern European/ Scandanavian/British
  • 36. Treatment • Surgical excision – Painful nodules – Contracture > 30° • Needle aponeurotomy • Collagenase – Injected into cord – Recent FDA approval
  • 37. Carpal tunnel syndrome • Median nerve compressed by transverse carpal ligament at wrist
  • 38. Symptoms • Pain & numbness • Grip weakness • Women > Men • Nocturnal pain • Only associated occupational risk: – Jack hammer use
  • 39.
  • 40. Treatment • R/o cervical etiology • Night splinting • +/- Injection • Surgical release – Open – Endoscopic
  • 42. Paronychia • S Aureus • Pseudomonas • Candida • Acute treatment: – warm soaks – 1st gen cephalosporin – 3-5 days • Abscess: office I&D
  • 43. Felon • Infection of volar distal pulp • Usually S Aureus • Rx – I&D – 1st gen cephalosporin • 3-5 days
  • 44. Supporative Flexor Tenosynovitis • Infection of flexor tendon sheath • S Aureus & Gr A Beta Hemolytic Strep
  • 45. Kanavel’s Cardinal Signs • Flexed posture • Pain with passive extension • Fusiform swelling – “Sausage digit” • Tenderness along flexor tendon
  • 48. Platelet-Rich Plasma • Autologous blood with platelet concentration > baseline values • Growth factors recruit reparative cells, enhance healing
  • 49. Growth Factors in PRP • Platelet-derived growth factor – Platelets Stimulates cell replication, angiogenesis, mitogen for fibroblasts • Vascular endothelial growth factor – Platelets Angiogenesis • Transforming growth factor-β1 – Platelets Key regulator in balance between fibrosis and myocyte regeneration • Fibroblast growth factor – Platelets Stimulates proliferation of myoblasts,angiogenesis • Epidermal growth factor – Platelets Proliferation of mesenchymal and epithelial cells, potentiation of other growth factors • Hepatocyte growth factor – Plasma Angiogenesis, mitogen for endothelial cells, antifibrotic • Insulin-like growth factor-1 – Plasma Stimulates myoblasts and fibroblasts, mediates growth and repair of skeletal muscle
  • 50.
  • 51. • Exciting treatment option • Lots of potential • Excellent safety profile • Awaiting definitive supporting evidence
