Kager’s triangle

Kager’s triangle (Kager’s Fat Pad) is bordered: Anteriorly by Tibia, Inferiorly by dorsal cortex of calcaneaus body, and posteriorly by Achilles tendon.

Quadrilateral space

The quadrangular space (or quadrilateral space [of Velpeau] or Foramen Humerotricipitale) is an axillary space in the arm. This is a clinically important anatomic space in the arm. In the quadrangular space, the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery can be compressed or damaged due to space-occupying lesions or disruption in the anatomy due to trauma. Symptoms include axillary nerve related weakness of the deltoid muscle in the case of any significant mass lesions in the quadrangular space. Boundaries

It is bounded by:

above/superior: the subscapularis and teres minor. Some sources exclude the teres minor.

below/inferior: the teres major

medially: the long head of the triceps brachii

laterally: the surgical neck of the humerus

Anatomy of Pes anserinus(거위발 건)

• Sartorius(봉공근), Gracilis(박근) & Semitendinosus(반건양근)의 conjoined insertion으로 tibia의 proximal medial aspect에 insertion
• 기능 1) flexor (주기능)
•   2) Internal rotator (이차적 기능)
• 3) 외회전력와 외반력(valgus stress)에 resist

Anatomy of quadriceps mechanism

Anatomy of quadriceps mechanism(대퇴 사두근)

• 4개의 구성요소에 의해서 3층으로 구성된 quadriceps tendon을 형성하여 patella에 insertion한다.
• Superficial layer
• rectus femoris tendon이 patella proximal pole의 ant. Edge에 insertion한다.
• Middle layer
• vastus lateralis와 medialis tendon에 의해 형성
• vastus medialis의 aponeurosis에 의해 형성된 medial retinaculum은 Patella의 side에 insertion하여 슬관절 굴곡 시 patella의 lateral displacement를 막는다.
• 광근 막 전면에 슬개 지대가 있어 이들은 외측이 내측보다 2배 가량 두껍고 4배 가량 두꺼워진 부분이 iliotibial band를 형성한다. 광근 막보다 내부에는 관절막이 두꺼워져 patellofemoral ligament를 형성한다.
• Extensor retinaculum(신전지대)는 광근 막과 내, 외측 광근 등의 섬유에 의해서 형성되며 patella를 지나 proximal tibia에 직접 부착한다.
• Vastus medialis의 상부 섬유는 15~18도 내측을 향하고 있으며 하부 섬유는 50~60도 내측을 향하며 이 두부분을 지배하는 신경 분지도 따로 되어 있기 때문에 상부를 vastus medialis longus, 하부를 vastus medialis obliquus로 부르기도 한다.
• Deep layer – vastus intermdius tendon이 patellar proximal pole의 post. Edge에 insertion한다.
• Patellar tendon – patella의 distal pole에서 origin하여 tibial tuberosity에 insertion한다.

Anatomy of patella

Anatomy of patella

• Proximal pole이 distal pole보다 넓은 삼각형 모양의 sesamoid bone
• Articular surface – vertical ridge에 의해 작은 medial articular facet과 좀 더 큰 lateral articular facet으로 나누어 진다
• ROM에 따른 patellofemoral joint
• 슬관절 완전 신전 시 : 관절을 형성하지 않는다.
• 슬관절 15°굴곡 시 : patella의 lateral patellar facet의 distal portion은 femoral groove의 superior articular margin과 articulation한다. Medial facet은 거의 articulation하지 않고 있다.
• 슬관절 45°굴곡 시 : patella의 mid portion과 articulation하고 medial facet도 어느정도 articulation한다.
• 슬관절 완전 굴곡 시 : patella both facets의 proximal portion은 femur와 articulation한다. 또 medial facet에 좀 더 많은 pressure가 가해진다.
• Patella는 슬관절을 완전 신전에서 완전 굴곡을 시행할 때 femoral condyle에 대해서 약 7~8cm이동한다.

Hoffman's Positive

Video Description

Hoffmann's test is a physical exam maneuver that is sensitive but not very specific for cervical myelopathy.

There are two methods to perform. The first is to hold and secure the middle phalanx of the long finger and then "flick" the distal phalanx into an extended position. Involuntary contraction of the thumb IP joint is a positive test.

The second way is to support the distal phalanx (examiners finger under distal phalanx) of the long finger and then "flick" the distal phalanx into an extended position. Involuntary contraction of the thumb IP joint is a positive test.

Malanga et al found the existing literature does not address interexaminer reliability but appears to indicate fair sensitivity and fair to good specificity for the Hoffman's sign.

수술적 치료: 수술적 치료 방법으로는 전통적 개방술을 통한 감압술, 내시경을 이용한 감압술 및 최소 절개를 통한 감압술이 있다. 전통적 개방술을 통한 감압술은 큰 절개를 통해 수근 관 내외의 해부학적 구조물을 직접 확인할 수 있고 류마토이드 관절염이나 통풍 등의 증식성 건막염(proliferative tenosynovitis)의 경우, 감압술과 동시에 건막 절제술을 용이하게 할 수 있다. 또한 이전에 감압술을 받은 환자의 재수술이나 손목이 고정된 환자의 경우에도 적응증이 된다. 요즈음은 특발성 수근 관 증후군에서 예전에 많이 행해졌던 내부 신경 박리술(internal neurolysis)이나 신경 외막 절개술(epineurotomy) 또는 굴근 건막 절제술(flexor tenosynovectomy)등은 여러 연구에 의해 수술 성적의 통계학적 의의가 없는 것으로 밝혀져 거의 행해지지 않는다. 전통적 개방술의 단점으로는 큰 절개로 인해 정중신경의 수장측 수근 분지(palmar carpal branch)의 종말 분지(terminal cutaneous branch)가 손상되어 반흔 압통(scar tenderness)이 생길 수 있다는 것과 술 후 악력의 회복이 더디다는 것이 있다.

근래에 정형외과 영역에서 내시경적 수술법의 사용이 확대되면서 수근 관 증후군의 수술에도 내시경적 수술법이 도입되었다. Agee, chow 그리고 Okutsu등의 여러 방법이 사용되고 있으며, 손바닥 통증 등 술 후 이환율이 낮고, 강력 파악력과 정밀 파악력의 회복이 빨라 정상 생활이나 일로 빨리 복귀할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 단점으로는 기술적인 합병증의 빈도가 높은 것이 지적될 수 있으며 술 후 신경 진탕(neuropraxia), 정중 신경 손상, 표재 수장궁(superficial palmar arch)의 손상 등이 있을 수 있다. 또한 횡 수근 인대의 불완전한 절개로 인해 재발률이 높다는 것을 지적하는 연구도 있다.

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath. A, In this 55-year-old woman with a 2-year history of pain and gradual swelling of the fingers, a soft tissue mass (arrow) can be identified at one distal interphalangeal joint. Underlying inflammatory osteoarthritis of the articulations is evident, and this combination of findings would suggest that the mass is a mucous cyst. However, biopsy of the affected joint demonstrated a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Definition

- 드 꾀르벵병은 신전 지대의 제 1구획의 APL 및 EPB의 협착성 건막염

  : De Quervain's tenosynovitis refers to a painful inflammatory process of the first dorsal retinacular compartment containing the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.

Synonyms

• Stenosing tenosynovitis of the radial styloid process
• Stenosing tenovaginitis of the first dorsal compartment
• De Quervain's disease
• De Quervain's tendonitis
• De Quervain's stenosinig tenosynovitis
• Tendinosis

ICD-9CM CODES

727.04 Radial styloid tenosynovitis, de Quervain disease727.0 Synovitis and tenosynovitis727.05 Other tenosynovitis of hand and wrist

Epidemiology & Demographics

- 30~50대 사이의 여성에서 호발, 특히 임신 말기나 수유기에 흔함.

• More common in women than in men (10:1)
• Usually occurs between the ages of 30 and 50
• Associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
• Can be seen in new mothers or daycare providers due to holding the babies with an outstretched thumb
• Seen more frequently in certain occupations involving repetitive wrist motion (e.g., clerical, assembly, and manual labor)

Physical Findings & Clinical Presentation

• Pain over the styloid process of the radius with grasping and isometric thumb abduction
• Swelling on the radial styloid
• Tenderness in the anatomic snuffbox
• Positive Finkelstein's test ( Fig. 1-271 )

FIGURE 1-271  : Finkelstein's test is positive in de Quervain's stenosing synovitis.  Ulnar flexion of the wrist produces pain over the dorsal compartment containing the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus. (From Noble J [ed]: Textbook of primary care medicine, ed 2, St Louis, 1996, Mosby.)

• Crepitance
• Numbness of the dorsum of the thumb is rarely noticed.
• Absence of local heat on examination

Etiology

- 대개 수부나 수근 관절을 과도하게 사용하는 반복적인 활동에 의해 발생

- 2차적으로 신전 지대의 섬유화가 진행

- 해부학적 변이(APL의 이상 분지, 이상 건 부착, 비정상적인 중격)

• The cause is usually repetitive use or overuse of the hand and thumb involving pinching with the thumb while moving wrist in radial and ulnar directions causing thickening of the fibrous tendon sheath (e.g., typing, writing, nailing, golfing, fly-fishing, etc.).
• Acute trauma to the first extensor dorsal compartment can also lead to tenosynovitis.
• It can also occur in inflammatory joint conditions like RA and conditions causing calcium apatite deposition.

Diagnosis

• The diagnosis of de Quervain's tenosynovitis is based on the clinical triad of:

1. Tenderness over the radial styloid

               2. Swelling over the first dorsal retinacular compartment

3. Pain on ulnar movement of the wrist with the thumb adducted and flexed (Finkelstein's test; see Fig. 1-271).

• Consideration can be given to injecting 1.5 ml of 1% Xylocaine into the tenosynovial sac, and if all three physical signs resolve, the diagnosis is confirmed, allowing for differentiation from carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA).
• Finkelstein maneuver can also be present in first CMC joint OA; therefore it should also be evaluated if this test is positive.

Differential Diagnosis

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Arthritis (e.g., degenerative OA or RA)
• Gout
• Infiltrative tenosynovitis
• Radiculopathy
• Compression neuropathy (e.g., superficial branch of the radial nerve "bracelet syndrome")
• Ganglia
• Infection (e.g., tuberculosis, bacterial)
• Scaphoid fracture
• Intersection syndrome

Laboratory Tests

• ESR is usually normal in patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis.
• Arthrocentesis can be used to rule out gout (crystals) and infection (Gram stain and culture of aspirate).

Imaging Studies

• Imaging of the wrist and thumb is not necessary unless a fracture or arthritis is suspected.

Treatment

Nonpharmacologic Therapy

• Rest
• Avoiding repetitive movements of the hand or thumb
• Splinting (thumb spica)
• Icing (4-6 times day for 15 minutes)
• Physiotherapy

Acute General Rx

• Corticosteroid injection using 20 to 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide and 1% Xylocaine is effective in relieving pain.
• NSAIDs (ibuprofen 800 mg tid or naproxen 500 mg bid)
• Topical hydrocortisone on the radial styloid for mild conditions

Chronic Rx

• Once signs of active inflammation have resolved after 3-4 wk, gentle stretching exercises involving abductor and extensor tendons usually help recovery.
• Surgical release is generally reserved for patients not responding to NSAIDs and corticosteroid injection therapy.

Disposition

• ∼90% of patients have relief of symptoms with either single or multiple steroid injections.
• Rarely, steroid injection use can cause infection and tendon rupture.
• If left untreated, can lead to fibrosis and decrease in mobility (stenosing tenosynovitis).
• Surgical control of symptoms achieved in 90% of referred cases
• Complications of surgery include:

                  - 수술 후 합병증으로

                      1. 건의 탈구(신전 지대의 지나친 절제, 건막 절개시에 가능한 배측에서 시행),

                      2. 표재 요골 신경 분지의 손상(신경통)

• Radial nerve damage
• Paresthesia (∼10%)
• Neuroma
• Scarring

                       

                    Campbell P.4300

                         failure to obtain relief after surgery may result from

                          - formation of neuroma in a branch of ther superficial radial nerves

                          - volar subluxation of the tendon when too much of ther sheath is removed

                          - failure to find and release a seperate aberrant tendon within a seoerate compartment

                          - hypertrophy of scar from a longuitudinal skin incision

• Recovery rates are higher with early treatment to ∼80% after 6 wk but >40% after 4 yr.

Pearls & Considerations

• Steroid injection is generally recommended after failure of conservative treatment for 2-6 wk.
• Pain relief is usually noted within 48 hr with patient becoming asymptomatic by the first or second week after corticosteroid injection.
• If there is no improvement by 6 wk post second corticosteroid injection, referral to an orthopedic hand surgeon is recommended.
• Without treatment it will not improve and can get worse.
• Condition can recur if triggering activity continues.
