CONTRACTURES OF THE PROXIMAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT
Hand Clinics, 1992Posttraumatic stiffness of proximal interphalangeal joints remains a difficult problem that severely compromises hand function. The emphasis of treatment must be on preventing the problem from developing, which begins within hours of the injury. Effective treatment involves a careful evaluation of the injury and then instituting a rational course of ...

The most common surgical procedures have been digital sympathectomy, arthrodesis or arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) or both, and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints.

Management of Posttraumatic Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Contracture
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2013Chronic flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint presents a common yet challenging problem to hand surgeons. Over the years, multiple treatment modalities have been described for this problem, producing limited results. Nonoperative treatment using serial casting and splints should be tried before attempting open surgical release,

Osteogenesis imperfecta with joint contractures: Bruck syndrome
Pediatric Radiology, 1998We describe an Egyptian boy with osteogenesis imperfecta who was born with thumb contractures and bilateral antecubital pterygia. He was seen at 16 months of age with femur and tibial fractures, thoracic vertebral compression fractures, scoliosis and Wormian bones. The findings are consistent with a diagnosis of Bruck syndrome.
