Abstract

The subsesamoid joints of the thumb are a common site of arthritis, but their small size makes diagnosis of disorders challenging. The sesamoid and subsesamoid joints may also be injured acutely with the volar plate complex during hyperextension injuries, and may sometimes produce mechanical dysfunction. Simple excision of chronically painful sesamoids provides excellent relief.

摘要

拇指籽骨下关节是关节炎的常见部位，但其体积小使得疾病诊断具有挑战性。籽骨和籽骨下关节在过伸损伤时也可能与掌板复合体一起急性受伤，有时可能会产生机械性功能障碍。对长期疼痛的籽骨进行简单切除可带来显著缓解。
