The capitate had a widened distal base. The distal articulation can be used for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) articula reconstruction.

Detailed Description

Previous anatomical studies have shown that the capitate had a widened distal base. The distal articulation was mainly with the base of the third metacarpal and partially with the base of the second metacarpal. The articulation was slightly flattened with a convex and concave dorsal articular surface. The contour stimulates our imagination and creativity to use a portion of the articular surface for PIP arthroplasty.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. an articular defect at the proximal aspect of the PIP joint;
  2. the defect larger than 5 mm × 5 mm in size based on intraoperative findings.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. large defects involved double joint surfaces;

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Capitate bone grafting
18 patients with PIP joint defects were included in the study. There were 13 male and 5 female patients with a mean age of 31 years (range, 18-47 years). The injury occurred in the right hand in 11 patients and on the left hand in 7. The injured PIP joints were in the index finger (n=7), long finger (n=9), and ring finger (n=2).
Procedure: Capitate bone grafting
