• Tendon sheaths of the long flexors run from the level of metacarpal heads ( distal palmar crease, superficial; volar plate, deep)to distal phalanges
• They are attached to the underlying bones and volar plates, which prevent the tendons from bowstringing
• Predictable and efficient thickenings in the fibrous flexor sheath act as pulleys, directing the sliding movements of the fingers.
![Page 5: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• The 2types of pulleys are annular (A) and cruciate ( C).
• Annular pulleys are composed of single fibrous bands, while cruciate pulleys have 2 crossing fibrous bands.

The order of the pulleys from proximal to distal :
• The A1 pulley overlies the meatcarpophalangeal joint
• Flexor tendons pass within the tendon sheath and beneath the A1pulley at approximately the metacarpal head, beyond which they travel into the digit.
• The A2 pulley overlies the proximal end of the proximal phalanx
![Page 8: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• The C1 pulley overlies the middle of the proximal phalanx
• The A3 pulley lies over the proximal interphalangeal joint
• The C2pulley lies over the proximal end of the middle phalanx
• The A4 pulley lies over middle of the middle phalanx
• The C3 pulley lies over the distal end of the middle phalanx
• The A5 pulley lies over the proximal end of the distal phalanx
![Page 9: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Definition
• Stenosing tenosynovitis
• Painful condition in which a finger or thumb locks when it is flexed or extended.
• Caused by inflammation of the flexor tendon sheath.
![Page 10: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PathophysiologyFibrosis can occur and bumps (nodules) can form with prolonged inflammation.
![Page 11: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PathophysiologyInflammed nodule
Flexor tendon trapped by thickening at the entrance to its sheath.
Affected tendon is caught at the edge of the first annular (A1) pulley.
![Page 12: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Infantile Trigger Finger
• Abnormal flexion at interphalangeal joint.• Can be bilateral.• Flexor pollcis longus tendon thickened – Abnormal collagen degeneration and synovial
proliferation– Incr. FPL tendon diameter compared to A1– Disruption in tendon gliding
• Fix thumb flexion (interphalangeal joint)• Painless• Notta node
![Page 14: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trigger FingerDemographicsCommon form: Primary type.Found predominanty in otherwise healthy
middle-aged women with frequency 2 to 6 times higher than men.
Most commonly affected digit is the thumb, followed by ring, long, little and index finger.
![Page 15: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Secondary trigger finger
Seen in patients with diabetes, gout, renal disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Associated with worse prognosis after conservative or surgical management.
A locked trigger digit can lead to an incorrect diagnosis of dislocation, Dupuytren’s disease, focal dystonia or hysteria.

Classification Trigger Digits• Grade 1(Prettriggering)Pain: History of catching, but
not demonstrable on physical examination, tenderness over the A1 pulley
• Grade 11(Active)Demonstrable catching but
the patient can actively extend the digit.
• Grade 111(Pasive)- Demonstrable catching requiring passive extension(111A) or inability to actively flex(grade 111B)
• Grade 1V(contracture)- Demonstrable catching with a fixed flexion contracture of the PIP joint.

GANGLIONS of the HAND&WRIST
![Page 20: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ganglion cyst
Definition :• A tumor or swelling on top of a joint or the
covering of a tendon
![Page 21: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Etiology • Outpouching of synovium, as an irritation of
articular tissue
• Degeenerative of connectiontissue and cystic space formation
• Degeneration of the connective tissue is caused by an irritation or chronic damage causing the mesenchymal cells or fibroblasts to produce mucin
![Page 22: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pathophysiology • Most commonly appears multilobulated but
can still appear unilobulated.• With septa made from connective tissue
separating the lobes or cavities• A ganglion cyst is not a true cyst and because
of this histologic observation, the theories of synovial herniation or synovial tumor formation may be disputed
![Page 23: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Hyaluronic acid predominates the mucopolysaccharides that make up the fluid within the cyst’s cavity, while collagen fibers and fibrocytes make up the wall lining
• The development of these cysts is histologically observable beginning with swollen collagen fibers and fibrocytes, followed by a degeneration and liquefaction of these elements, a termination of degeneration, and a proliferation of the connective tissue, resulting in a border that is dense in texture
![Page 24: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Management • Imaging :- Plain xray : visualization of the cysts, identify bony
abnormaloities that can be causing the symptoms.- Confirmation of clinical diagnosis : MRI,
ultrasonography and arthroscopic imaging• Others : - Allen test performed when the cyst is located near
the radial artery, including most volar wrist ganglia.
![Page 25: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ganglion cyst
![Page 26: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Medical therapy
• Early stage: manually compressed until it bursts, and fluid is absorbed (least invasive treatment)
• Slightly more invasive approach when a minimum of 3 aspiration
Corticosteroids injection with aspiration ( yet has been contraindicated in some cases) : can cause thinning of the overlying skin.
![Page 27: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Another moderately invasive procedure is cyst puncture.
• In this procedure, a suture is passed through the skin perpendicularly through the cyst and is left there for 3 weeks, increasing the risk of infection ( not commonly used even it has 95% cure rate)
![Page 28: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Surgical therapy• Open removal with arthroscopy, including a
reduction in intraoperative risks and postoperative complications. (40% recurrence is seen)
• Remove a portion of capsule to reduce the recurrence rate (4%)
• Brief splinting of 3-7 days is recommended for both open and arthrospcopic ganglionectomy, but it seems that wrist motion within 3-5 days post operation can prevent stiffness.
![Page 29: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Compared to open ganglionectomy, arthroscopy uses smaller incisions and therefore leaves smaller scars.
• Arthroscopy allows better visualization
![Page 30: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dorsal Wrist Ganglion• Most common : 60-70%
• Arise from scapholunate ligament.
• Can occur anywhere else between extensor tendons and connected to ligament through a long pedicle.
• Extend and direction-palpation with digital compression.
• Transillumination and aspiration confirms the diagnosis.
![Page 31: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Occult Dorsal Carpal Ganglion
Smaller, occult dorsal ganglions are easily overlooked and can be often only be palpated with the involved wrist in marked volar flexion.
Comparison with opposite normal wrist is helpful.
![Page 33: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Clinical Features
Clinical Features
Unexplained wrist pain and disproportionately tender.
Differential Diagnosis
Chronic tenosynovitis of the extensor tendons
Dorsiflexion injuries of the wrist- pain and sprains of the scapholunate ligament and other intercarpal ligaments

![Page 36: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Investigations
Radiographic
For further diagnostic studies: MRT, CT, ultrasonography
![Page 37: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
TreatmentConservative(best initially)• Immobilization and steroid injections directly into
the dorsal capsule
Operative:• Excision of the posterior interosseous nerve at the
level of the radiocarpal joint - alleviate the pain and postoperative comfort.

Volar Retinacular(Flexor Tendon
Sheath)Ganglion
Prepared by:ANUSHAH THIAGARAJAN
![Page 39: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• The third most common ganglion,about 10%-12%,which arises from the proximal annular ligament(A1 pulley) to the flexor tendon sheath.
• This ganglion is invariably small(3mm-8mm)
• Firm,tender mass palpable under the MP flexion crease.
![Page 40: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• The cyst is attached to the tendon sheath and does not move with the tendon.
• Needle rupture followed by a steroid injection and digital massage disperse the cyst’s contents can frequently delay or obviate the need for surgery.
![Page 41: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Several attempts at conservative treatment are recommended before surgery with patient’s understandings that reccurences might happen.
• The proximity of digital nerves must be appreciated.
![Page 42: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• The incision must allow identification and mobilization of radial and ulnar neurovascular bundles.
• The ganglion can then be traced to the tendon sheath and excised to a small portion of the sheath.
![Page 44: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
• The ganglion is approached through an oblique incision over the mass.
• Transverse incisions are more popular but don’t allow adequate exposure with undue skin traction and are not easily incorporated into an extensile incision.
![Page 45: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• The synovial side of the specimen usually reveals a defect in its smooth,white homogenous surface suggestive of a communication between a tendon space and cyst.
• After skin closure,a simple dressing is applied and early motion allowed.
![Page 46: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS
• Rare,although injuries to the digital nerves have been reported
![Page 47: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
MUCOUS CYST
• Ganglion of the DIP joint that occurs between 5th and 7th decades.
• The earliest sign maybe longitudinal grooving of the nail,without a visible mass,caused by pressure on the nail matrix.
• Usually,the patient is seen after the cyst has enlarged and attenuated the overlying skin.
![Page 48: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• The cyst,3mm to 5mm,typically lies on one side of the extensor tendon and between the dorsal distal joint crease and eponychium.
• The patient often has Herbeden’s nodes and radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis changes in the joint.
![Page 49: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• The cyst and osteophytes should be treated to ensure satisfactory result.
![Page 50: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
• The cyst has historically been approached through ‘L’-shaped or curved incision and any attenuated or involved skin that cannot be easily separated from the cyst wall,is excised elliptically.
• The cyst is immobilized,traced to the joint capsule and excised with the joint capsule.
![Page 51: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• All soft tissue,between the retracted extensor tendon and adjacent collateral ligament is excised and the DIP joint is left exposed.
• Care is taken to not disturb the incision of the extensor tendon or nail matrix.
• With the joint extended and tendon retracted dorsally,the opposite site is explored and occult cyst or hypertrophied synovial tissue is excised.
![Page 52: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Osteophytes can be excised with a rongeur or a fine powder bur
• Skin closure may require rotation and advancement of dorsal skin flap or a full-thickness skin graft.
• An alternative and current prefered approach is to make a transverse incision centred over the DIP joint
![Page 53: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• The base of mucous cyst is identified and excised while leaving the distal and superficial portion of the cyst intact.
• Osteophytes and the joint capsule are excised while leaving the skin closed.
• The remaining portion of the cyst will involute over several weeks.
![Page 54: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
POST-OPERATIVE CARE
• If a skin graft was used,the distal joint is supported with a cast or splint for 2 weeks.
• Earlier motion is permitted if a local rotation flap was used.
• Motion and theraphy can then be undertaken until full painless motion has been achieved.
![Page 55: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS
• Recurrences maybe due to inadequate excision of the capsular attachment of the ganglion and failure to recognize extension of the ganglion under the extensor tendon to the opposite site.
• The underlying arthritic process persist and may result in new ganglion formation.
![Page 56: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
• Relief of pressure on the nail matrix by decompression or excision of ganglion usually restores the nail to its normal appearance
• Stiffness is a rarely functional problem
![Page 57: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
OTHER GANGLION CYST
• Dorsal,volar retinacular and DIP constitutes more than 90% of ganglions of hand
![Page 58: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
GANGLIONS of the PROXIMAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT
• Dorsally over the PIP joint on the other side of the extensor tendon.
• They arise from the joint capsule and pierce the oblique fibres between the central slip and lateral band.
• These cysts are small(3mm-5mm),tender and may interfere with joint motion.
![Page 59: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
• A curve incision over the PIP joint exposes the ganglion.
• The lateral margin of the lateral band is released from the transverse retaining ligament and retracted dorsally to expose the PIP joint.
![Page 60: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• The pedicle from the main cyst can usually be followed through the extensor system into the joint capsule.
• A small elliptical incision through the oblique extensor fibres mobilize the cyst and pedicle.
• The entire joint capsule and synovial lining are excised between the collateral ligament and extensor insertion on the middle phalanx.
![Page 61: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
POST-OPERATIVE CARE
• A simple skin closure and early motion
![Page 62: Trigger Finger and Ganglion Cyct . Seminar Ortho Year 5](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/577c83f01a28abe054b6e64e/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
GANGLION EXTENSOR TENDONS
