Treatment of Traumatic DislocationofMetacarpophalangeal Joint of the Thumb

무지 중수지 관절의 외상성 탈구 치료

Purpose: We examined patients to evaluate the clinical results of traumatic metacarpophalangeal(M-P) dislocations of the thumb, uncommon and irreducible. Materials and Methods: In 11 traumatic M-P dislocations of the thumb, the types of dislocations were 10 dorsal and 1 volar dislocations resulted from the impacted and hyperextended forces on thumb. Authors evaluated the possibility of closed reduction, the anatomical structures interfering with closed reduction, and the surgical approaches. Results: Eight cases were treated with open reduction through volar approach and two cases were treated with closed reduction. Joint fusion was done with a plate in a chronic case. Initial closed reduction was attempted in all cases, but succeeded in only 2 cases because the interposed ruptured volar plate, the flexor pollicis brevis tendon and ulnar sesamoid bone at the volar side of the M-Pjoint were the obstacles to reduce. The metacarpal head was caught in button-hole slit between theflexor pollicis brevis and the ruptured volar joint capsule in all cases. Conclusion: Similar with the M-P joint dislocations of other fingers, the dorsal complex M-P dislocations of the thumb due to hyper extension are unusual and can't easily be reduced by closed manipulation. It is necessary to pay attention to the ruptured volar plate, capsule, the subluxated portion ofthe sesamoid and flexor pollicis brevis as interfering structures.

목적: 임상적으로드물며, 발생시도수정복이잘안되는무지중수지관절복합탈구의임상적결과를알아보고자하였다.대상및방법: 무지중수지관절의외상성탈구11예(10예후방탈구, 1예전방탈구)를대상으로초기에탈구의정복가능성,도수정복을방해하는해부학적요인, 수술적접근법에관하여조사하였다.결과: 모든증례에서초기에도수정복을시도하였으나, 2예에서만이정복이되었다. 8 례는전방도달법으로관혈정복을하였고, 1예는만성적인소견을보여관절고정술을시행하였다. 정복방해요인은파열된수장판내로근위부에서단무지굴건과요측종자골이감입되어있었고, 중수골두는파열된인대와단무지굴건사이에형성된간격사이로빠져나와있었다.결론: 과신전에의한중수지관절의후방복합탈구는드물지만, 정복이쉽지않아서주로관혈정복이요구되며, 이때정복방해요인인파열된수장판과관절막, 단무지굴건과종자골등에관심을갖고치료에임하여야한다.
