RESUMO
Congenital anomalies of the upper limb are in Denmark estimated to have an incidence of around 20 in 10,000 live births. This covers a wide array of conditions summarised in this review. At the time of referral, the patient is thoroughly examined, and a treatment plan is discussed with the family. In some cases, no treatment is needed, in others there might be a need for surgery, night splinting, or an upper limb prosthesis. In case an underlying syndromatic cause is suspected, the patient is referred for paediatric evaluation at specialized centre.

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is an autosomal dominant genetic malformation disorder which is best characterized by both its craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. The purpose of this paper is to identify the various orthopedic manifestations and management in patients with TRPS. A systematic search of PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library was conducted. They were each individually searched for primary articles yielding information on the orthopedic manifestations and management of patients with TRPS. The goals and results of each of the included studies were described. Data regarding the demographics, orthopedic condition, treatment strategy, and outcomes were extracted and analyzed. 221 unique articles were retrieved, with 13 articles being included in the study. 26 patients with TRPS were identified. Trials of conservative management were reported for 14 patients, and surgical intervention was pursued for 8 patients. The mean age for surgery was 14.1 years. The most common orthopedic manifestations of TRPS are clinodactyly, Perthes-like changes, and coxa magna. Early identification and maintenance of TRPS is important for being able to monitor musculoskeletal health of the patients in order to prevent detrimental outcomes. Additional high-quality research is required regarding the orthopedic manifestations and treatment of this patient population.

The hand is a unique structure in human body performing complex activities of daily life making it prone to injuries. While operating on zone VI extensor tendon injury, a surprising entity was observed. The extensor digitorum to the right index finger was absent. This is an extremely rare entity in the literature. Also, all previous studies on the extensor digitorum are cadaveric. Our findings are first of its kind intraoperative, incidental, and confirmed on MRI. Thus, it becomes a case report of special worth mentioning in literature.

RATIONALE: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is an aggressive form of cancer, with cutaneous metastasis being a rare occurrence. Furthermore, cutaneous metastasis of SDC secondary to a scald is even rarer, and to the best of our knowledge, our case represents the first such instance. Considering the involvement of the fingers in the metastatic site, which may affect limb function and quality of life, we present this case to explore the reason why scald could lead to distant recurrence and better treatment options. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 85-year-old man diagnosed with SDC in the parotid gland found enlarged masses at the fingertips as a consequence of a burn, 6 years after his initial treatment. DIAGNOSES: Cutaneous metastasis of SDC in the parotid gland and left thumb loss due to surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Radiotherapy was offered, targeting at the masses on the fingers, with dose at 15 Gy in 3 fractions, 12 Gy in 3 fractions, 15 Gy in 3 fractions for both hands and additional 21 Gy in 7 fractions only for left hand. OUTCOMES: The tumors shrank after 2 months of radiotherapy and the patient recovered well. Side effects included nail hyperplasia and paronychia. LESSONS: Connections between scald and distant metastasis of malignant tumors in this case needed further investigation. Considering reserving function of the fingers while dealing with metastasis, radiotherapy is recommended rather than surgery.

BACKGROUND: When the range of motion between two finger segments, both active and passive, is restricted, finger contracture occurs. The aim of this study is to investigate the best procedure to eliminate finger contracture and the functional and esthetic results of the different surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 31 patients with soft-tissue abnormalities of the hand were included in this prospective study. They underwent either contracture removal with K-wire and skin grafts or various flap procedures in the department of plastic surgery. Complaints of stiffness and discomfort were classified into five categories: none, mild, moderate, marked, and severe. The difficulty a person had in picking up objects, grasping, writing, etc., was used to determine the degree of disability. Absenteeism from work and surgical site infections were also recorded. RESULTS: The mean age was 20.25 years, with a mean age of 23.05 for men and 15.83 for women. Overall, most cases occurred in the age range of 3-10 years. For K-wire surgery with skin grafting, the typical time off work was 24 days. The average recovery time ranged from 15.2 days for skin grafts to 16.9 days for tenolysis, 28.33 days for groyne flaps, and 41 days for abdominal flaps. Of all cases, 12 (38.00%) had a fair result, 10 (31.04%) had a moderate result, and 9 (30.96%) had an excellent result. CONCLUSION: The most feasible method for treating these situations, which offers the greatest potential for a functional and cosmetic result, is contracture reduction with skin grafting.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) impairs upper limb function and cognitive performance. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fifteen sessions of complex decongestive therapy (CDT) on fine motor performance and information processing speed in women with BCRL. METHODS: Thirty-eight women with BCRL (54.97 ± 10.78 years) were recruited in the study. Participants either received five times weekly CDT consisting of manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, compression bandaging, and remedial exercises (n = 19) or served as a wait-list control group (n = 19). We used the Finger Tapping Task to assess fine motor performance and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test to assess information processing speed. ANCOVA was performed to analyze the effect of CDT on the dependent variables, adjusting for covariates and baseline values. RESULTS: CDT significantly improved finger tapping score (p < 0.001) compared to the wait-list to the control group, whereas information processing speed did not significantly change (p = 0.673). CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that CDT is an effective conservative therapeutic approach to improve upper extremity fine motor function in women with BCRL. Future studies are needed to investigate the effect of CDT on different cognitive domains.

Glomus tumors are rare vascular hamartomas most commonly found in the subungual region of the fingers. They present with a classic triad of paroxysmal pain, point tenderness, and cold sensitivity. The diagnosis is often missed for several years due to under recognition of this condition. A 42-year-old female presented with a several year history of pain in the middle finger when it was struck or exposed to cold. She had point tenderness on the fingernail, and increased curvature of the nail. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a 7mm subungual glomus tumor. The tumor was surgically excised via a transungual approach, resulting in complete relief of her pain. Glomus tumors are diagnosed clinically based on the presence of classic symptoms and positive provocative tests. These tests include point tenderness on palpation and pain when ice is placed on the digit. MRI imaging can be used when the diagnosis is unclear or to localize the tumor prior to surgery. Increased awareness of this condition among physicians could reduce the time to diagnosis and treatment.

Distal nerve transfers can restore precise motor control in tetraplegic patients. When nerve transfers are not successful, tendon transfers may be used for subsequent reconstruction. In this case, an extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon transfer was used to restore thumb and finger flexion following an unsuccessful ECRB to anterior interosseous nerve transfer in a young tetraplegic patient. Twelve months following tendon transfer, the patient demonstrated functional grip and pinch strength and was using both hands for daily activities. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).

BACKGROUND: This work aimed to investigate the change in fingerprint depth and the recovery rule of fingerprint biological recognition function after repairing finger abdominal defects and rebuilding fingerprint with a free flap. METHOD: From April 2018 to March 2023, we collected a total of 43 cases of repairing finger pulp defects using the free flap of the fibular side of the great toe with the digital nerve. After surgery, irregular follow-up visits were conducted to observe fingerprint clarity, perform the ninhydrin test or detect visible sweating with the naked eye. We recorded fingerprint clarity, nail shape, two-point discrimination, cold perception, warm perception and fingerprint recognition using smartphones. The reconstruction process of the repaired finger was recorded to understand the changes in various observation indicators and their relationship with the depth of the fingerprint. The correlation between fingerprint depth and neural repair was determined, and the process of fingerprint biological recognition function repair was elucidated. RESULT: All flaps survived, and we observed various manifestations in different stages of nerve recovery. The reconstructed fingerprint had a clear fuzzy process, and the depth changes of the fingerprint were consistent with the changes in the biological recognition function curve. CONCLUSION: The free flap with the digital nerve is used to repair finger pulp defects. The reconstructed fingerprint has a biological recognition function, and the depth of the fingerprint is correlated with the process of nerve repair. The fingerprint morphology has a dynamic recovery process, and it can reach a stable state after 6-8 months.

BACKGROUND: Dupuytren's contractures (DC) are fibrous cords under the skin of the hand that cause one or more fingers to curl gradually and irreversibly towards the palm. These contractures are usually painless but can cause a loss of hand function. Two treatments for Dupuytren's contractures are widely used within the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK: removal of the contractures via surgery (limited fasciectomy) and division of the contractures via a needle inserted through the skin (needle fasciotomy). This study aims to establish the clinical and cost-effectiveness of needle fasciotomy (NF) versus limited fasciectomy (LF) for the treatment of DC in the NHS, in terms of patient-reported hand function and resource utilisation. METHODS/DESIGN: Hand-2 is a national multi-centre, two-arm, parallel-group randomised, non-inferiority trial. Patients will be eligible to join the trial if they are aged 18 years or older, have at least one previously untreated finger with a well-defined Dupuytren's contracture of 30° or greater that causes functional problems and is suitable for treatment with either LF or NF. Patients with a contracture of the distal interphalangeal joint only are ineligible. Eligible consenting patients will be randomised 1:1 to receive either NF or LF and will be followed up for 24 months post-treatment. A QuinteT Recruitment Intervention will be used to optimise recruitment. The primary outcome measure is the participant-reported assessment of hand function, assessed by the Hand Health Profile of the Patient Evaluation Measure (PEM) questionnaire at 12 months post-treatment. Secondary outcomes include other patient-reported measures, loss of finger movement, and cost-effectiveness, reported over the 24-month post-treatment. Embedded qualitative research will explore patient experiences and acceptability of treatment at 2 years post-surgery. DISCUSSION: This study will determine whether treatment with needle fasciotomy is non-inferior to limited fasciectomy in terms of patient-reported hand function at 12 months post-treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION: International Standard Registered Clinical/soCial sTudy ISRCTN12525655. Registered on 18th September 2020.

BACKGROUND: Polydactyly, particularly of the index finger, remains an intriguing anomaly for which no specific gene or locus has been definitively linked to this phenotype. In this study, we conducted an investigation of a three-generation family displaying index finger polydactyly. METHODS: Exome sequencing was conducted on the patient, with a filtration to identify potential causal variation. Validation of the obtained variant was conducted by Sanger sequencing, encompassing all family members. RESULTS: Exome analysis uncovered a novel heterozygous missense variant (c.1482A>T; p.Gln494His) at the zinc finger DNA-binding domain of the GLI3 protein within the proband and all affected family members. Remarkably, the variant was absent in unaffected individuals within the pedigree, underscoring its association with the polydactyly phenotype. Computational analyses revealed that GLI3 p.Gln494His impacts a residue that is highly conserved across species. CONCLUSION: The GLI3 zinc finger DNA-binding region is an essential part of the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway, orchestrating crucial aspects of embryonic development through the regulation of target gene expression. This novel finding not only contributes valuable insights into the molecular pathways governing polydactyly during embryonic development but also has the potential to enhance diagnostic and screening capabilities for this condition in clinical settings.

Breast cancer is a hormone-dependent cancer. Hormonal exposure begins in the intrauterine period and continues in later years of life. 2D:4D ratio is accepted as an indicator of this exposure. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a difference in 2D:4D ratio between pathological subgroups of breast cancer and healthy control group. In this study, 204 participants, 154 breast cancer patients and 50 healthy control volunteers with similar age distribution, were included. Both hands of all participants were scanned using a digital scanner. The second and fourth finger lengths were measured using a digital measuring ruler with an accuracy of 0.05 mm. The 2D:4D ratio was calculated as the length of the second finger divided by the length of the fourth finger. A total of 204 patients (55 triple negative, 52 luminal B, 33 luminal A, 14 HER2-overexpessing and 50 healthy control volunteers) were subjected to finger scanning. There was no statistically significant difference in mean age between the groups. The right hand 2D:4D ratio was significantly lower in the Luminal A group compared to the other groups (p < 0.048). Although prenatal hormonal exposure is accepted as a risk factor for breast cancer, no study has evaluated patients in pathological subgroups. The 2D:4D ratio may be associated with breast cancer especially in the luminal A group in which hormone receptors are strongly positive and which has a better prognosis compared to the other groups.

Mucous cyst is a benign but recurrent lesion. It is located on the dorsal surface of the digital extremity between the distal interphalangeal joint and the base of the nail. The nail is often affected by the cyst because of its topographical proximity. Nail plate deformity may even be the first obvious abnormality indicating the presence of a small mucous cyst or subungual cyst. Mucous cyst is associated with osteoarthritis of the joint, osteophytes probably being the main contributing factor. Surgical treatment by joint debridement and cyst removal is the most effective way of preventing recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Congenital flexion contracture of ulnar digits is a rare entity with few cases reported in medical literature. This condition is often misdiagnosed as Volkmann ischemic contracture as both have similar presentation. The patient history, physical examination, radiological investigation, and intra-operative findings can differentiate these 2 conditions clearly. A 14-year-old female presented to a tertiary care hospital with flexion deformity of the left long, ring, and little fingers without neurological deficit since she was 3 years old. Patient had decreased handspan with difficulty in grasping daily life objects. Finger flexion deformity was also not aesthetically acceptable due to social stigma. Patient finger contracture was managed with flexor pronator slide (Max-Page) operation. The muscle slide operation was done using concealed medial incision. Aesthetic and functional correction was achieved with no recurrence at subsequent follow-ups.

SUMMARY: Biometrics and forensic osteology play a significant role in human identification, as the morphological uniqueness of every individual enables the differentiation and recognition of skeletal remains. Through meticulous analysis of human remains, it is possible to determine key demographic attributes such as stature, a significant parameter in the forensic identification process. This information is of practical relevance for the identification of individuals in contexts such as disasters, vehicular accidents, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts, and forensic investigations. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the hand's middle finger length and stature in a group of Chilean students. A total of 211 students of both sexes from La Araucanía region, Chile, participated in the study. After obtaining informed consent to participate voluntarily in the study, each individual underwent a general anthropometric examination, followed by a specific assessment of the length of the middle finger (MFL) of both hands. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated a significant prediction of stature using the length of the right (R-MFL) and left (L-MFL) middle fingers, F (2, 207) = 79.80, p < 0.001. The equations for estimating stature based on the length of the middle fingers are as follows: for R-MFL, Stature = 91.265 + (8.092 x R-MFL), and for L-MFL, Stature = 83.967 + (8.889 x L-MF). Based on these results, it was found that the length of the middle finger of both hands is predictive of stature.
La biometría y la osteología forense desempeñan un papel relevante en la identificación humana, dado que la singularidad morfológica de cada individuo permite la diferenciación y reconocimiento de restos óseos. Mediante el análisis meticuloso de los restos humanos, es posible determinar atributos demográficos clave como la estatura, un parámetro significativo en el proceso de identificación forense. Esta información posee relevancia práctica para la identificación de personas en contextos de desastres, accidentes vehiculares, ataques terroristas, conflictos armados e investigaciones forenses. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la correlación entre la longitud del dedo medio de la mano con la estatura, en un grupo de estudiantes chilenos. Se evaluaron 211 estudiantes de ambos sexos de la región de La Araucanía, Chile. Tras obtener el consentimiento informado para participar voluntariamente en el estudio, se sometió a cada individuo a un examen antropométrico general, seguido de una evaluación específica de la longitud del dedo medio (MFL) de ambas manos. Los resultados del análisis de las regresiones lineales múltiples indicaron una significativa predicción de estatura utilizando la longitud de los dedos medios derecho (R-MFL) e izquierdo (L-MFL), F (2, 207) = 79.80, p < 0.001. Las ecuaciones para estimar estatura basados en la longitud de los dedos medios son las siguientes: para R-MFL, Stature = 91.265 + (8.092 x R-MFL) y para L-MFL, Stature = 83.967 + (8.889 x L- MF). A partir de estos resultados, se encontró que la longitud del dedo medio de ambos manos es predictora de estatura.

INTRODUCTION: A common consideration for replantation success is the ischemia time following injury and the preservation temperature. A classic principle within the hand surgery community describes 12 hours of warm ischemia and 24 hours of cold ischemia as the upper limits for digit replantation; however, these limits are largely anecdotal and based on older studies. We aimed to compare survival data from the large body of literature to aid surgeons and all those involved in the replantation process in hopes of optimizing success rates. METHODS: The PubMed database was queried on April 4th, 2023, for articles that included data on digit replantation survival in terms of temperature of preservation and ischemia time. All primary outcomes were analyzed with the Mantel-Haenszel method within a random effects model. Secondary outcomes were pooled and analyzed using the chi-square statistic. Statistical analysis and forest plot generation were completed with RevMan 5.4 software with odds ratios calculated within a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Our meta-analysis identified that digits preserved in cold ischemia for over 12 hours had significantly higher odds of replantation success than the amputated digits replanted with 0-12 hours of warm ischemia time ( P ≤ 0.05). The odds of survival in the early (0-6 hours) replantation group were around 40% greater than the later (6-12 hours) replantation group ( P ≤ 0.05). Secondary outcomes that were associated with higher survival rates included a clean-cut amputation, increased venous and arterial anastomosis, a repair that did not require a vein graft, and replants performed in nonsmokers ( P ≤ 0.05). DISCUSSION: Overall, these findings suggest that when predicting digit replantation success, time is of the essence when the digit has yet to be preserved in a cold environment. This benefit, however, is almost completely diminished when the amputated digit is appropriately maintained in a cold environment soon after injury. In conclusion, our results suggest that there is potential for broadening the ischemia time limits for digit replant survival outlined in the literature, particularly for digits that have been stored correctly in cold ischemia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether there is a relationship between the 2nd finger and 4th finger length measurement ratios and developmental dysplasia of the Hip (DDH). STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Meram Faculty of Medicine Hospital, Konya, Turkiye, from January 2020 to May 2023. METHODOLOGY: Infants were screened for DDH with Graff method for the ultrasounds of both hips. Lengths of the 2nd and 4th fingers of both hands were measured and recorded. Patients with additional risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip (breech birth, family history, oligohydramnios, swaddling) were excluded. RESULTS: Two hundred and fifty-six babies were screened including 55.1% (n = 141) girls and 44.9% (n = 115) boys. Their mean age was 2.51 ± 0.80 months. The average lengths were 31.73 ± 3.05 mm, for the left 2nd finger and 34.26 ± 3.48 mm for the left 4th finger. In the hip USG measurements, the mean alpha angles were 62.91 ± 3.12° for the right hip and, 63.20 ± 3.55° for the left hip. Eighteen (7%) of babies who underwent hip ultrasound (USG) had unilateral or bilateral DDH. Among these cases, 2.7% (n = 7) had right, 2.3% (n = 6) had left, and 2% (n = 5) had bilateral DDH. There was no statistically significant correlation between the ratios of right 2/4 finger lengths and the right alpha angle (rs = 0.051; p = 0.421). There was a statistically positive and statistically significant correlation between the ratios of left 2/4 finger lengths and the left alpha angle (rs = 0.154; p = 0.013). CONCLUSION: Only the left-hand finger ratio among the parameters in the model had a statistically significant effect on DDH. Therefore, the left hand 2D/4D finger length may be of value in screening for DDH. KEY WORDS: Developmental dysplasia of the hip, Second to fourth finger digit ratio, Ring finger, Digit ratios.
