J Hand Surg Eur Vol. 2024 May;49(5):637-638. doi: 10.1177/17531934231212395. Epub 2023 Nov 21.

Abstract

This retrospective observational study evaluated outcomes after hemi-hamate arthroplasty. A palmar cortical step caused by the osteochondral graft was associated with reduced proximal interphalangeal joint range of motion compared to a flush palmar cortex at early follow-up (62° vs. 83°; p = 0.006).

Keywords: Interphalangeal joint of finger; autografts; fracture dislocation; hemi-hamate arthroplasty.
