A 28-year-old female recreational athlete presented with middle finger proximal interphalangeal joint pain, stiffness, and ulnar deviation deformity 2 years after internal fixation of a middle phalanx base fracture-dislocation. Radiographs revealed posttraumatic changes on both sides of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Having failed nonsurgical measures, she elected to proceed with surgical reconstruction. Intraoperatively, we confirmed substantial articular damage on both sides of the joint. We proceeded with hemi-hamate autograft for 80% of the middle phalanx base. We used a cobalt chrome proximal phalanx component. After healing, the patient returned to all daily-living and athletic activities with resolution of preoperative pain, stiffness, and deformity. Twelve years after surgey, she had no pain or substantial limitations because of the finger. We measured 80° of proximal interphalangeal joint motion. The grip and fingertip-pinch strength were 91% and 73%, respectively, of the contralateral dominant hand. Radiographs showed no progressive changes compared to 3 years after surgery.

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic exocrinopathy caused by lymphocytic infiltration and is associated with numerous manifestations and morbidities. We discuss a case of a 60-year-old female who presented to the Acute Medical Assessment Unit complaining of progressive shortness of breath for one month, not associated with chest pain or lower limb swelling. She also reported joint pain involving both wrists and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, oral dryness, hair loss, and numerous tongue ulcerations. Read More

Digital biomarkers such as wearables are of increasing interest in monitoring rheumatic diseases, but they usually lack disease specificity. In this study, we apply convolutional neural networks (CNN) to real-world hand photographs in order to automatically detect, extract, and analyse dorsal finger fold lines as a correlate of proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint swelling in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Hand photographs of RA patients were taken by a smartphone camera in a standardized manner. Read More

Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany.

Background: To reduce the rate of correction loss in hallux valgus surgery, a proximal to distal phalangeal articular angle (PDPAA) of the proximal phalanx of the greater toe of > 8° is considered an indication for a combined Akin and Chevron osteotomy. The PDPAA is measured between the articular surfaces of the proximal phalanx of the greater toe. Viewed from a sagittal perspective, the joint surfaces are not perpendicular aligned to the phalanx axis. Read More
