 6.1 Initial Incision and Joint Exposure
For single joint involvement:
A longitudinal incision is made over the dorsum of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint (FIGURE 6.1.1).
For multiple joint involvement:
A curving transverse incision across the dorsum of the MCPs is recommended when multiple joints are involved (FIGURE 6.1.1). The extensor hood is incised on the radial side of the central tendon or through its center if no dislocation/subluxation of the tendon is present. Attempts are made to dissect the extensor tendon free from the joint capsule radially and ulnarly.En savoir +... |  Ascension Orthopedics, Inc. est spécialisé dans la recherche, le développement, la fabrication et la distribution d'implants orthopédiques innovants en Pyrocarbone, destinés à l'arthroplastie des petites articulations de la main, du membre supérieur et du pied.En savoir +... |
