Purpose: Rupture of a collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint is rare except in the thumb. The injured digit became flexed and deviated toward ulna side by the hypothenar intrinsic musculature. Incomplete rupture of a collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint can be often managed by splinting the affected digit in flexion position, however, in the case of complete tears that distraction of the ends of the ruptured collateral ligament is too great to allow repositioning by splinting. Primary repair of the ruptured collateral ligament or reattachment to bone by a pull-out wire, or tendon graft technique appears to be adequate. Methods: We report a case of instability of fifth metacarpophalangeal joint due to complete rupture of radial collateral ligament. This 18-year-old male presented pain in his right outstretched hand after trauma. The diagnosis was obtained by physical examination and simple radiography. Because of persistent instability after the initial conservative treatment, open reduction and repair surgical treatment was required. Results: The fifth metacarpophalangeal joint became free of pain and stable under forced lateral deviation. Postoperative results showed good metacarpophalangeal joint function and stability during 8 months follow-up period. Conclusion: Because of the interposition of the sagittal band between the ruptured ends of radial collateral ligament such as Stener-like lesion of the thumb, surgical repair of metacarpophalangeal joint collateral ligament of the finger was justified in case of complete laxity in full flexion.

Lateral epicondylitis with rupture of the radial collateral ligament of the elbow has not been reported in the literature. We report on a case of a recreational golfer who had not received steroid injection and had no trauma history. The patient was treated with open surgical repair. At 2 years follow-up, satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes were observed with return to pre-injury level. The authors report this case and review the literature.

목적: 무지 중수 수지 관절의 척측 측부 인대의 만성 파열에서의 직접 봉합술은 양호한 결과가 보고되고 있으나 요측 측부 인대에서의 결과는 논란이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 무지 중수 관절의 척측과 요측 측부 인대의 만성 파열에서 인대 재부착술의 결과를 비교하는 것이다. 방법: 무지 중수 수지 관절의 6주 이상된 측부 인대 파열에서 봉합 앵커를 이용해서 재부착술을 시행한 요측 6예 및 척측 8예의 평균 22개월 추적한 방사선적 및 임상 결과를 후향적으로 검토하고, 통계적으로 비교하였다. 결과: 수술 후 평균 척측 변위 각은 요측 측부 인대에서 $13.3^{\circ}$, 척측 측부 인대에서 $2.0^{\circ}$였다(p=0.020). 수술 후 인대 불안정성은 요측 인대 6예 중 4예에서 관찰되었으나, 척측 인대에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 수술 후 경과 관찰에서 관절의 아탈구는 요측 인대 2예에서만 관찰되었다. 결론: 무지 중수 수지 관절의 요측 측부 인대의 지연 봉합은 덜 양호한 결과를 나타내며, 반 이상에서는 수술 후 인대의 불안정성이 관찰된다.

저자들은 다른 수지의 중수수지 관절에서 발견된 Stener 유사 병변 3예와 제2 수지에서 이와 유사한 임상 소견을 나타냈던 제1 배측 골간근 파열 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 제5 수지에서 발생한 2예는 Stener 병변이었고 제2 수지의 1예는 파열된 측부 인대가 전위되었으나 파열되지 않은 시상대가 아래에 위치하여 있었으며, 이는 수술 전 자기공명영상(magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) 검사에서도 관찰되었다. 수술 전 초음파에서 제2 수지의 Stener 병변으로 판단되었던 1예는 제1 골간근의 파열이었다. MRI는 수지의 중수수지 관절의 측부 인대 파열의 진단에서 필수적인 감별 진단 검사라고 판단된다.

The purpose of this report Is to discribe the radiological findings of traumatic elbow luxation and subluxation of carpal joint which were caused by being hit by a wild animal and forced hyperextension of carpus in two hunting dogs. In case 1, carniocaudal and mediolateral radiographic examination of the elbow joint revealed that the radius that the radius and ulna were completely luxated laterally. The lateral projection showed the humeral condyles overlying the radial head with an absent joint space, but displacement is apparent on the craniocaudal projection. Incidence of collateral ligament rupture in conjunction with elbow luxation was not recognized on physical examination of the limb after closed reduction. Radiographic examination of the elbow made 5 months after closed reduction revealed only mild degenerative joint disease. Radiographic examination of the carpus in case 2 demonstrated palmar subluxation of most carpal joints including antebrachiocarpal, mediocarpal carpometacarpal joints, and some intercarpal joints, and avulsion fracture of the palmar surface of the accessory carpal bone. However, the mediocarpal and carpometacarpal joints were most severely affected by tensile forces of hyperextension, and it was concluded that the ligaments of the middle ca,pal joints and carpometacarpal joints as well as the palmar fibrocartilage were ruptured based on clinical and radiographic findings. In elbow luxation and subluxation of carpal Joints of the dog, differentiation of the joint or joints involved, and ligamentous structures damaged is important in determining whether surgery Is necessary and which procedure is most appropriate. And the radiographic findings of these conditions would be of help to practitioners.
