From S.O.S Main Strasbourg, France

Joint reconstruction at the metacarpophalangeal or proximal interphalangeal levels remains a difficult problem in hand surgery. The authors reviewed sixty-one joints reconstructed acutely or electively allowing to compare Swanson spacer (30 joints), interpositional arthroplasty (4), non vascularized joint transfer (5) and vascularized joint transfer (21). Among these, two different techniques have been used: island compound transfer from a finger bank (10) and free vascularized transfer from the second toe (10) or from a non replantable finger (1). It is not worth while comparing different techniques applied to different indications. The only point which can be stressed is the better average range of movement of metacarpophalangeal reconstruction compared to that obtained at the proximal interphalangeal level.
