“…If volar plate injury is suspected, a dorsal blocking splint which allows normal flexion but only limited MCP extension for 4 weeks is necessary to protect the MCP joint from hyperextension and allow the volar plate to heal (Patel et al, 1990). A 45 year-old patient presented with a two month history of increasing swelling of the proximal phalanx of the left index finger.…”

“…The sesamoid may fracture as a result of direct trauma or hyperextension. According to Patel et al, 9 fracture of a sesamoid of the thumb was first described by Skillern in 1915. The tendons of the adductor pollicis and the flexor pollicis brevis are attached to the ulnar and radial sesamoids, respectively.…”

A retrospective study for the combination of suture anchor and selective sesamoidectomy for treating volar instability of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) of the thumb. Eleven patients with hyperextension of the MCPJ of the thumb underwent volar plate repair using a volar or voloradial approach. All the patients were reviewed radiologically and clinically using both objective and subjective criteria. The patients presented with sesamoid fractures (n = 2), sesamoid subluxation (n = 1), isolated volar plate laxity (n = 4), isolated sesamoid fracture (n = 4), and metacarpal condyle fracture (n = 2). The inner intersesamoid distance was 4.6 mm and the outer intersesamoid distance was 14.2 mm. The Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand and Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire scores showed improvement. Volar plate repair using a suture anchor and selective sesamoidectomy is effective with regard to pain relief and stabilisation of volar instability of the thumb.
