Abstract
PURPOSE
The second toe PIP joint free flap is a method of reconstruction used for abnormalities of the PIP joint of the finger. We report the results of the additional tenolysis in patients with a difference between passive ROM and active ROM after second toe PIP joint free flap. METHODS: From March 2001 to July 2008, tenolysis was performed in patients with a difference in their active and passive ROM after second toe PIP joint free transfer, performed on 14 fingers. We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records, noting the clinical and radiological findings. In addition, we measured the preoperative and postoperative range of motion of the PIP joint.
RESULTS
The average active ROM was 22.5degrees in three months after the joint transfer surgery, and was 38degrees after additional tenolysis from five months to twelve months after the joint transfer.
CONCLUSIONS
Additional tenolysis, after the second toe PIP joint free flap, might be a good option with an improved results in patients with difference in active and passive ROM of a transferred PIP joint.
