Isolated proximal and distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) dislocations are widely seen as a result of sporting injuries and major trauma. The combination of dorsal dislocation of the DIPJ in the same finger concomitant to traumatic dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) is a rarely seen injury. The case is, here, presented of a 65-year-old female patient with proximal and DIPJ dislocation of the right-hand ring finger accompanied by volar and dorsal plate injuries in the proximal and distal joints. With this case, it was aimed to introduce a new term of 'floating phalanx' into medical literature. The treatment was applied to the patient of closed reduction under peripheral block and the application of an aluminium finger splint in semiflexion. In a 24-month follow-up period, the 4th finger of the patient was observed to be stable and has pain-free range of movement. This case is an uncommon case of volar and dorsal plate avulsion fractures with PIPJ and DIPJ dorsal dislocation treated successfully with closed reduction and conservative treat-ment with excellent functional results.

The spinal cord is at risk of injury during spinal surgery. If intraoperative spinal cord injury is identified early, irreversible impairment or loss of neurological function can be prevented. Different types of spinal cord injury result in damage to different spinal cord regions, which may cause different somatosensory and motor evoked potential signal responses. Read More

Lisfranc complex injuries management and treatment: current knowledge.

Authors:
Antonio Mascio Tommaso Greco Giulio Maccauro Carlo Perisano

Int J Physiol Pathophysiol Pharmacol 2022 15;14(3):161-170. Epub 2022 Jun 15.

Department of Ageing, Neurosciences, Head-Neck and Orthopaedics Sciences, Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery Unit, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS Rome, Italy.

Lisfranc complex injuries are a spectrum of midfoot and tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint trauma, more frequent in men and in the third decade of life. Depending on the severity of the trauma can range from purely ligamentous injuries, in low-energy trauma, to bone fracture-dislocations in high-energy trauma. A quick and careful diagnosis is crucial to optimize management and treatment, reducing complications and improving functional outcomes in the middle and long-term. Read More

Department of Hand Surgery, Institut de la main Nantes-Atlantique, Santé Atlantique, Saint-Herblain, France.

 Isolated scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) osteoarthritis (OA) mainly develops in women over 50 years of age in a bilateral manner. Many surgical treatments are available, including distal scaphoid resection with or without interposition, trapeziectomy, and STT arthrodesis. However, there is a controversy about which procedure is the most effective. Read More

Lehrstuhl für Unfallchirurgie, Orthopädie und Sporttraumatologie, Universitätsklinik Witten/Herdecke am Klinikum Köln-Merheim, Ostmerheimer Str. 200, 51109, Köln, Deutschland.

This article describes a multifragmentary glenoid fracture in a 65-year-old patient after falling from a height of 2 m. The accident led to complete Y‑shaped destruction of the glenohumeral joint with a large posteroinferior fragment and a large anteroinferior glenoid fragment. The treatment consisted of a two-stage surgical procedure and a combination of open and arthroscopic techniques. Read More
