[One hundred years of orthopedics in the Netherlands. X. Sports injuries].

Sports injuries result from frequently repeated similar movements performed with submaximal force. In practice the term is also used, incorrectly, for many other injuries sustained during, or even outside, the practising of sports. Running may lead to injuries of muscles (rupture, chronic compartment syndrome), of tendons (peritendinitis, tendinosis, partial rupture, insertion tendinitis), of bone (stress fracture) and of cartilage (athrosis). Jumping mostly puts the ankle at risk, especially of development of an anterior or posterior impingement syndrome. Throwing puts much strain on the shoulder muscles; possible problems are microruptures in the rotator cuff, avulsion of the glenoid rim, chronic tendinitis of the biceps tendon and entrapment of the suprascapular nerve. The main element of the treatment is rest. If symptoms persist, surgery may be considered. Previous diagnostic imaging may then be of value.

Peroneal tendon injury associated with calcaneal fractures: CT findings.

Injury to the peroneal tendons is one of the major long-term complications of intraarticular calcaneal fractures and heretofore has been difficult to diagnose by noninvasive radiography. Retrospective review of CT scans of 24 intraarticular calcaneal fractures, obtained shortly after injury, identified 22 cases (92%) of acute peroneal tendon abnormalities. In most of these cases, multiple findings were present. These included lateral displacement in 14 (58%) of 24, impingement by bony fragments in eight (33%), subluxation or dislocation in six (25%), soft-tissue masses around the tendons representing hematomas or early scar tissue in five (21%), and entrapment of the tendons in three (13%). In 10 cases with long-term follow-up, impingement on the tendons by bony fragments correlated well with the subsequent development of peroneal tenosynovitis, while hematoma around the tendons or lateral displacement of the tendons was clinically insignificant. Thus, CT in the immediate postfracture period, can be used to detect and categorize acute peroneal tendon injuries as well as possibly to predict the likelihood and nature of subsequent development of peroneal tenosynovitis.

Palmar wrist pain caused by ulnar nerve entrapment in the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon.

A 38-year-old female nurse was seen initially with several years' history of recurring intermittent ulnar wrist pain and paresthesias. The pain was aggravated by specific tasks using her hands, such as typing. Splinting and two steroid injections into the area gave only temporary relief. Surgical exploration revealed a segment of the ulnar nerve composing approximately 15% of its volume to split from the main trunk of the ulnar nerve, perforate the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon, and then rejoin the ulnar nerve. The nerve branch was extracted from the flexor carpi ulnaris by dividing approximately 15% to 20% of the tendon, allowing the nerve to be removed from the perforation, and anatomically relocated. The patient resumed her normal activities and has had no further discomfort in her wrist.

Extensor tendon involvement in Smith's and Galeazzi's fractures.

Extensor tendon involvement in three Smith's and two Galeazzi's fractures are reported. In two cases of previous Smith's fracture, the extensor indicis proprius tendon had been entrapped and ruptured in one case, and in the other the extensor digitorum communis tendon of the index was pierced by the fragment. Both showed a severe tenodesis effect on the index finger and thumb. In a new case of Smith's fracture, long extensor tendons of the fingers and thumb had been trapped beneath a dorsally displaced third fragment making closed reduction impossible. In the two cases of Galeazzi's fracture; in one the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon was trapped between the dorsally displaced ulnar head and the avulsed styloid process and in the other, the extensor digiti minimi tendon was caught beneath the radial border of the dorsally dislocated ulnar head.

[Recent palmar dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Recent anterior dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint are uncommon injuries. Chronic and irreducible dislocations have been most often reported. This study aims to precise the anatomic and radiologic aspects of these lesions about three cases, and to compare these cases and their treatment with thirteen cases published in the literature between 1966 and 1994. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three patients presented an anterior dislocation of the PIP joint after direct or twisting traumatism. One had an avulsion of the central slip of the extensor tendon and remained unstable after closed reduction needing pin fixation. Two had a longitudinal tear between central and lateral bands of the tendon with an entrapment of the condyle of the proximal phalanx, and the dislocations were irreducible. After open reduction, the joint was stable. RESULTS: The first case showed a limited flexion after three months. In the two other cases without rupture, full range of motion was recovered after two months. DISCUSSION: These cases have been compared with thirteen cases of recent papers from nine authors. Two types of anterior dislocations of the PIP joint may be described. TYPE I: Without rupture of the central slip fo the extensor tendon. One distal condyle of the proximal phalanx is entrapped between the central slip and a lateral band of the extensor tendon, that are separated by a longitudinal partial tear. The deformity is made by flexion, axial rotation and lateral displacement of the middle phalanx. Open reduction is required and may carry out good functional result. TYPE II: With rupture of the central slip of the extensor tendon. These very unstable lesions need a fixation after closed or open procedure. The treatment is often lately carried out, and the results not so good as in type I. CONCLUSION: Two different types of PIP joint anterior dislocations are described. Earlier diagnosis and surgical treatment can allow early rehabilitation and better final functional results.

Entrapment of the flexor digitorum superficials in the radius fracture site.

Entrapment of the flexor tendon after fracture of both forearm bones is very rare. This report describes entrapment of the middle finger flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon alone in the radius fracture site. A 13-year-old boy fractured both forearms and had closed reduction and a long-arm cast. After the cast was removed he had full middle finger motion with the wrist flexed but was unable to extend the proximal interphalangeal or metacarpophalangeal joints and could extend only the distal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger with the wrist in the neutral or extension position. Entrapment of the middle finger FDS tendon was suspected. After surgical release of the FDS tendon at the fracture site the patient had good functional results.

Workplace ergonomic factors and the development of musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper limbs: a meta-analysis.

In the past 10 years there has been growing awareness among occupational health professionals worldwide of the large burden of illness associated with musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper limbs. It has been suggested that these disorders are associated with highly repetitive work and are due, at least in part, to ergonomic factors. This review examines the epidemiologic evidence of the relationship between workplace ergonomic factors such as repetition, force, static muscle loading, and extreme joint position and the development of muscle, tendon, and nerve entrapment disorders of the neck and upper limbs of exposed workers. An extensive search for relevant studies was undertaken. Of 54 potentially relevant studies identified, three met the a priori inclusion criteria. The validity of these studies was assessed, and one study was found to have major flaws. Criteria to demonstrate causality were also applied and were met in the most rigorously conducted study. When the results of these studies are compared and aggregated where appropriate, they provide strong evidence of a causal relationship between repetitive, forceful work and the development of musculoskeletal disorders of the tendons and tendon sheaths in the hands and wrists and nerve entrapment of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel. The comparison of exposed to controls for hand/wrist tendinitis gives an unadjusted common odds ratio of 9.1 (95% CI 4.9-16.2). The adjusted odds ratio for carpal tunnel syndrome is 15.5 (95% CI 1.7-141.5) based on the most rigorous study.

Antigen-induced tenosynovitis in hypersensitized rabbits: a model for rheumatoid tenosynovitis.

Rabbits were first immunized and later challenged with the same antigen (bovine serum albumin, or ferritin) by injection into the tibialis anterior tendon. Inflammatory changes of the tenosynovium and epitenon included infiltration by neutrophils (early) and mononuclear cells (later) over a 6-week course of tenosynovitis. A pattern of antigen entrapment in the tendon together with immunoglobulin was shown by use of radiolabelled antigen and immunochemical staining. Half-life of antigen in the tissues averaged 5 days over the 6-week period. Changes in the epitenon included cellular necrosis, appearance of phagocytic cells, and disruption of the collagen matrix. Tissues of control animals (challenged without prior immunization) showed minimal changes and significantly less retention of antigen (P greater than 0.005). The model is relevant to the mechanism of tendon damage associated with antigen-driven chronic inflammation, as may be the case in rheumatoid arthritis.
