Thumb metacarpophalangeal joint ulnar collateral ligament repair with condylar shaving
Haddock, Nicholas T; Beasley, Robert W; Sharma, Sheel
2009 Dec;13(4):199-201, Techniques in hand & upper extremity surgery
INTRODUCTION: Injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) are relatively common and are best treated in the acute setting. The acute version of this injury can often be repaired primarily but in the chronic setting the ligamentous remnants are often retracted making this method of repair difficult. We present a novel alternative approach for UCL repair after chronic injuries or difficult acute injuries. METHODS: We describe the procedure and postoperative results. A standard S-shaped incision over the dorsal ulnar aspect of the thumb is used. The adductor aponeurosis is identified and separated from the joint capsule. A proximally based and distally based rectangular flap containing the UCL remnants is elevated exposing the metacarpophalangeal joint. A burr is used to shave the condyles on the ulnar aspect of the metacarpal and proximal phalanx. The joint is stabilized with a Kirschner wire. A suture anchor is used to secure the proximally based flap. The distal flap is secured on top of this using the same sutures from the anchor. The repaired ligament is secured to the volar plate on the palmar aspect using a 4-0 Ethibond. RESULTS: This surgical technique has been used extensively by the senior authors; we present a representative case. At 3 months the patient had a grip strength of 85 lbs, tripod pinch of 12 lbs, lateral pinch of 5 lbs, 2-point pinch of 6 lbs, active range of motion at metacarpophalangeal joint of 0 to 70 and passive range of motion at the metacarpophalangeal joint MP of 0 to 85. CONCLUSION: Despite a number of options for ligament reconstruction many of the described methods of repair are relatively complex and involve derangement of local tissues. We offer a novel adjunct to current methods of UCL reconstruction in which condylar shaving makes repair much more simple and avoids the use of a tendon graft. This approach provides a shorter course for the retracted UCL remnants allowing primary repair in the chronic setting and in the difficult acute repair

Proximal radial compression neuropathy
Rinker, Brian; Effron, Charles R; Beasley, Robert W
2004 Mar;52(2):174-180, Annals of plastic surgery
Proximal radial nerve compression occurs infrequently and is diagnosed successfully even less frequently. A large clinical series of patients with proximal radial nerve compression neuropathy was reviewed to determine better the common symptoms, physical findings, and electrodiagnostic findings, and to identify the predictors of better or worse outcome after surgical decompression. Seventy-nine proximal radial compression neuropathies were treated in 71 patients by the same surgeon between 1991 and 2000. The most consistent symptoms were deep aching pain in the forearm, pain radiation to the neck and shoulder, and a 'heavy' sensation of the affected arm. The most common physical findings were tenderness over the radial nerve at the supinator muscle level, pain on resisted supination, and the presence of a Tinel sign over the radial forearm. Electrophysiologic studies were of limited value in diagnosis, with 90% of patients having normal findings. On operation, prominent pathology of the posterior interosseous nerve was observed in 36 of 79 limbs (46%). Follow-up ranged from 12 to 86 months (mean, 21 months) with no significant complications or recurrence of symptoms. Of the 79 nerve decompressions, 77% had excellent recovery and 20% were judged to be good. Of 69 patients employed when treated, 60 resumed gainful employment, including 53 who returned to their regular jobs. Proximal radial compression neuropathies are uncommon but present with a basic constellation of symptoms and physical findings, and decompression can provide excellent relief of symptoms

Rebalancing of forces as an adjunct to resection suspension arthroplasty for trapezial osteoarthritis
Saadeh, Pierre B; Kazanowski, Melissa A; Sharma, Sheel; Beasley, Robert W
2004 Jul;52(6):567-570, Annals of plastic surgery
The carpometacarpal (CM) joint of the thumb is commonly affected by osteoarthritis. The strength required for a first CM ligament reconstruction depends on the forces across the joint. If these forces are rebalanced to reduce the requirements necessary to prevent subluxation, reconstructive requirements are lowered and surgical dissections reduced. A method to achieve this goal based on Landsmeer's zig-zag compression concept is presented. Fifteen consecutive patients (11 women; mean age, 63 years) with pantrapezial osteoarthritis were selected over a 2-year period to undergo this novel procedure. After standard trapezial resection, trapezoidal hemiresection was performed, allowing for medial movement of the first metacarpal base. Following the zig-zag concept, the first metacarpophalangeal joint reciprocally fell into flexion, decreasing forces causing subluxation of the first metacarpal base. A saddle-like suspension under the metacarpal base was created using the trapezial capsule. All 15 patients had excellent outcomes with elimination of pain, early recovery of mobility and power, and no recurrent subluxations. The durability of the procedure was confirmed clinically and radiologically. The medial relocation of the first metacarpal base rebalances and attenuates the normal deforming forces thereby eliminating the need for a strong CM ligament reconstruction

Passive hand prostheses
Soltanian, Hooman; de Bese, Genevieve; Beasley, Robert W
2003 Feb;19(1):177-183, Hand clinics
For many mangled hands, appropriately designed passive prostheses now available, alone or in conjunction with surgical reconstruction, can offer the best available improvement, provided they are of high quality and backed by prompt and reliable after-delivery services. Invariably, there is improvement in physical capability along with restoration of good social presentation

An experimental study of small-joint compression arthrodesis
Breibart AS; Glat PM; Staffenberg DA; Casar RS; Rubinstein J; Grossman JA; Beasley RW
1997 Jul;39(1):47-52, Annals of plastic surgery
Arthrodesis of the interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints is a technically demanding procedure with significant failure rates. A method of compression arthrodesis that was developed by one of the authors (RWB) using a compression clamp and crossed Kirschner wires is reported. This technique has been used without complication in the successful arthrodesis of 125 consecutive interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal fusions by two of the authors (RWB and JAIG). An in vivo model of small-joint arthrodesis was then developed using the rabbit humeroulnar joint to compare this method of compression clamp arthrodesis with the tension band technique. Biomechanical testing at both 2 and 8 weeks postoperatively showed compression clamp arthrodesis to compare favorably with the tension band technique

The management of pigmented lesions of the nail bed
Glat PM; Spector JA; Roses DF; Shapiro RA; Harris MN; Beasley RW; Grossman JA
1996 Aug;37(2):125-134, Annals of plastic surgery
Pigmented lesions of the nail bed, especially without a history of trauma, represent a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. These lesions are often categorized as melanonychia striata (MS), which refers to any linear tan-brown-black pigmentation of the nail bed. The differential diagnosis of MS includes subungual hematomas, onchomycosis nigricans, junctional nevi, melanoma in situ (MIS), and malignant melanoma (MM). Our algorithm at the New York University (NYU) Medical Center for the treatment of pigmented lesions of the nail bed is presented. A histopathologic diagnosis with any evidence of melanocytic atypia, however subtle, requires absolute confirmation by complete excision. The absence of a clear margin or recurrence requires total nail bed excision and reconstruction using a full-thickness graft. The diagnosis of MIS is similarly treated. The surgical management of subungual MM is discussed. All cases of MM of the hand treated at NYU were reviewed. In all, 30 patients were treated from 1982 to 1995. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 13 years. In our series, there were 8 cutaneous and 22 subungual melanomas. There was a marked delay in treatment of both groups, with subungual melanomas more often erroneously treated as other pathology prior to correct diagnosis. The 5-year survival rate was 100% for patients with cutaneous lesions, but only 80% for those with the subungual variety. There was a statistical difference in the depths of the lesions (subungual, 3.68 mm; cutaneous, 1.36 mm) with a p-value of 0.008. The role of elective lymph node dissection in the absence of clinical metastases as well as intraoperative sentinel lymphatic mapping remains controversial and is discussed

Somatosensory cortical plasticity in adult humans revealed by magnetoencephalography
Mogilner A; Grossman JA; Ribary U; Joliot M; Volkmann J; Rapaport D; Beasley RW; Llinas RR
1993 Apr 15;90(8):3593-3597, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Microelectrode recordings in adult mammals have clearly demonstrated that somatosensory cortical maps reorganize following peripheral nerve injuries and functional modifications; however, such reorganization has never been directly demonstrated in humans. Using magnetoencephalography, we have been able to demonstrate the somatotopic organization of the hand area in normal humans with high spatial precision. Somatosensory cortical plasticity was detected in two adults who were studied before and after surgical separation of webbed fingers (syndactyly). The presurgical maps displayed shrunken and nonsomatotopic hand representations. Within weeks following surgery, cortical reorganization occurring over distances of 3-9 mm was evident, correlating with the new functional status of their separated digits. In contrast, no modification of the somatosensory map was observed months following transfer of a neurovascular skin island flap for sensory reconstruction of the thumb in two subjects in whom sensory transfer failed to occur

Prosthetic replacements for the thumb
Beasley, R W; de Beze, G M
1992 Feb;8(1):63-69, Hand clinics
Optimal management of thumb loss necessitates individual consideration of all options, including prosthetic fitting, in relation to the needs and circumstances of each patient. Increased availability and substantial technical improvements in hand prostheses are resulting in their more frequent utilization, alone or in conjunction with surgical reconstruction. It has been found, contrary to general recommendations, that digital prostheses do in fact follow the basic rule of upper limb prostheses: the more distal the amputation, the more benefit a prosthetic fitting will be as there is a corresponding increase in automatic control. The benefit of digital prosthetic fitting is most striking in activities such as playing the piano or typing. The success of prosthetic fitting depends greatly on the defining of realistic goals and on the prosthesis being developed to very high standards with efficient follow-up service arrangements

A comparative electrophysiological study on neurotisation in rats
Chiu DT; Chen L; Spielholtz N; Beasley RW
1991 Dec;16(5):505-510, Journal of hand surgery (British volume)
A comparative experimental study has been carried out in rats with denervated gastrocnemius muscles. Three groups of five rats were treated by three different types of implantation of nerve directly into muscle (neurotisation). In the fourth group, the common peroneal nerve was sutured to the transected tibial nerve. The fifth group was left denervated as a control. The muscles were studied by serial electrodiagnostic studies and later histologically. The results showed little difference between nerve suture and implantation of nerve directly into muscle. Extension of the common peroneal nerve with a pair of sural nerve grafts did not produce a detrimental effect

Prosthetic substitution for fingernails
Beasley RW; de Beze GM
1990 Feb;6(1):105-110, Hand clinics
The loss of a fingernail is remarkably disturbing to many patients. Despite all efforts, surgical methods of replacement have not proven to be very satisfactory. Like artificial eyes, techniques for making an artificial fingernail of good likeness have been available for many years. The problem has been a satisfactory method of attaching the artificial fingernail to the digit and eventually that of making the artificial nail sufficiently thin. While no perfect solution exists, the development of a 'submini' digital prosthesis that covers only the distal phalanx offers the best available solution. Only if the prosthesis is custom developed and fabricated to the very highest standards will the potential be realized. Repair will be required occasionally, so assured availability of prompt and reliable maintenance services is most important. When there has been loss of tissues from the distal phalanx, the prosthesis can also help with that problem. Finally, the prosthesis has the advantage of inflicting no scars or other irreversible measures

Treatment of dysesthesia of the sensory branch of the radial nerve by distal posterior interosseous neurectomy
Lluch AL; Beasley RW
1989 Jan;14(1):121-124, Journal of hand surgery (American volume)
Complete injuries to the sensory branch of the radial nerve may lead to the development of an area of dysesthesia in the dorsoradial aspect of the hand. However, lesions of the radial nerve proximal to the elbow level, affecting both the sensory branch and the posterior interosseous nerve, will never develop an area of distal dysesthesia. Therefore, it seems likely that the dysesthesia observed in isolated injuries of the sensory branch of the radial nerve is transmitted to the cortical receptors through the intact posterior interosseous nerve. On the basis of the above clinical observations, we have successfully treated 43 patients with radial dysesthesia by division of the distal posterior interosseous nerve. There have been no complications or functional deficits related to this procedure

Upper limb amputations and prostheses
Beasley RW; de Bese GM
1986 Jul;17(3):395-405, Orthopedic clinics of North America
The management of amputations is an important area of surgery of the hand and demands the same measured judgment, global perspective, and technical skill of any other reconstructive procedure. The needs of each patient are different, even when physical losses are similar. In terms of physical impairment, the bilateral hand amputee is a totally different problem than the unilateral. Logical choice requires knowledge of and consideration of all the alternatives, including prosthetic fitting potentials. As surgical procedures often are irreversible, it is important that the best master plan be devised as early as possible. Major reconstructions for the partially amputated hand and prosthetic fitting usually have a remarkably common physical goal--restoration of a simple vise mechanism. Today, this goal must include restoration of a socially acceptable presentation of the constantly exposed hands. To many patients in our mobile and competitive society, the latter will be their greater need. Both active and passive prosthetic devices are functional; they simply meet different needs and each has advantages and disadvantages. The usefulness of motorized units for unilateral amputees remains severely limited as all such devices are 'second-thought' mechanisms having no sensory feedback, an indispensable requirement for automatic control. Hand prostheses are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of amputees. The surgeon charged with primary responsibility of care must be knowledgeable about them. With the rapid changes in our work force and the ever-increasing mobility of our society, it is unrealistic to ignore or deny that a grotesque or badly deformed hand is a serious socioeconomic liability. The needs of each patient are different, but the prosthetic needs of most patients in the future will include mechanically simple devices of socially acceptable appearance

Fingertip reconstruction
Grad JB; Beasley RW
1985 Nov;1(4):667-676, Hand clinics
Fingertips are functionally important contact surfaces. Pain-free and stable tissue coverage with good sensibility is needed. The method of repair depends on many factors, as herein discussed, including careful donor site consideration if tissue is transferred for repair. A small injury to a finger can result in prolonged disability and morbidity so that such injuries deserve the same thoughtful consideration, planning, and technical adroitness as do all hand problems

The thenar flap--An analysis of its use in 150 cases
Melone CP Jr; Beasley RW; Carstens JH Jr
1982 May;7(3):291-297, Journal of hand surgery (American volume)
A skillfully applied thenar flap is an excellent method of restoring major distal soft tissue losses of fingers. It not only provides full-thickness skin of near perfect tissue match but also is the only local flap with sufficient subcutaneous tissues to restore adequately the lost finger pulp. Its recovery of sensibility yields good function, it does not hyperpigment, and the donor site is on the less exposed palmar surface of the hand. Age is not a contraindication for its use. The thenar flap must not be confused with the palmar flap, whose bad reputation is well deserved and whose use if probably never indicated. The cardinal technical principles that must be observed for the thenar flap are (1) design the flap out on the thumb near the MP joint crease, (2) fully flex the MP joint and, when possible, the distal IP joint of the recipient finger to minimize proximal IP joint flexion, and (3) sever the pedicle of the flap after 10 to 14 days and immediately start active exercises. Experience bears out that the thenar flap applied with observance of the stated principles usually offers the best solution for treatment of major distal phalangeal soft tissue losses for all age groups

General considerations in managing upper limb amputations
Beasley RW
1981 Oct;12(4):743-749, Orthopedic clinics of North America
Amputation is an unpleasant affair, generating a very negative aura that must be consciously combated. It requires the same careful consideration, planning, and technical skills required by any reparative hand surgery. For optimal care, the surgeon needs not only to be comprehensively trained in hand surgery but also to be knowledgeable about prosthetic possibilities and to appreciate the psychological impact on the patient. Thoughtful and concerned management can do much to reduce the loss in a global sense, and the only measure of success is how well the patient is reintegrated into normal life

Surgery of hand and finger amputations
Beasley RW
1981 Oct;12(4):763-803, Orthopedic clinics of North America
The management of upper limb amputations is an important part of the practice of surgery of the hand. Reattachment of parts has opened dramatic new potentials, but elective amputation and wound closure after traumatic loss remain frequent and important operations. The negative aura surrounding these unpleasant events favors their quick disposition, but they demand the same measured judgement, technical skill, and concern that any reparative hand operation requires. Many basic surgical principles related to amputation are well established and must be followed. The difference in surgery under war conditions and civilian practice, where careful surveillance is possible, must be appreciated. Secondary procedures must be proposed on the basis of very careful study of the circumstances and the needs of each patient, above all avoiding unrealistic attempts at reconstruction. The aesthetics and the psychological impact cannot be ignored. Success can be measured only by the patient's recovery in a global sense, that is, how well he or she resumes normal life

Basic technical considerations in reattachment surgery
Meyer VE; Zhong-Wei C; Beasley RW
1981 Oct;12(4):871-895, Orthopedic clinics of North America
Replantation surgery offers a rewarding challenge for one to apply basic biologic and functional concepts to deal with an infinite variety of amputation problems. Although there is an obvious requirement for technical skill, there is no place for stereotype procedures. Often the exact plan of treatment cannot be determined until debridement is completed, so by taking on the responsibility to manage these problems one must have not only fine technical skills but also a thorough knowledge and comprehensive experience in hand surgery, Upper limb amputations are complex and difficult compound hand injuries involving not only the vascular system but the bone, tendon, nerve, muscle, and skin as well. To entertain the concept that upper limb amputations are simply microvascular problems is indicative of a complete lack of comprehension of the realities of the situation. Every hand surgeon must add the ability to perform microsurgical techniques to his or her technical armamentarium, but to endorse the concept of a microsurgeon is bad for medicine and counter to both reality and concerned patient care

Present indications and contraindications for replantation as reflected by long-term functional results
Zhong-Wei C; Meyer VE; Kleinert HE; Beasley RW
1981 Oct;12(4):849-870, Orthopedic clinics of North America
It is evident that the independent experiences of these hand surgery units in three completely different parts of the world are remarkable similar. For the most part, one can readily account for the differences reported on the basis of interpretations of such vague terms of evaluation as 'good' or 'poor' and on case selection, which is often dictated by local cultural considerations. For example, a hand with some useful prehension placed on an extremely shortened arm may be most welcome to a Chinese patient, whereas a hand attached to the humerus may be looked upon as grotesque in the Western cultures an so be psychologically devastating. Yet, such differences are minor compared with the common pattern of experience that clearly exists and upon which conclusions can be based for formulating some general guidelines. Indications for upper limb reattachments at this time are neither absolute nor static. They are relative, dynamic, and surely will change as experience increases and techniques become even more refined. Success must not be equated with tissue survival but measured only in terms of what the effort has done for the patient in a global sense. As yet, completely satisfactory system for such evaluation is not available and development of one should be an important goal. Evolution of a treatment plan requires careful consideration and synthesis of the many factors discussed here but always with a view toward what will be of greatest total benefit for our patients. This principle should not chastem for such evaluation is not available and development of one should be an important goal.
