Nine cases of locking of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint are described. The previously asymptomatic middle finger joint in an elderly person was most likely to be affected. Radiology of the joint has shown degenerative changes in all cases. In two patients, spontaneous unlocking of the joint occurred and in a further six operative release was undertaken. The important anatomical features of the condition are discussed in relation to the mechanism of locking and the surgical treatment.
本文描述了9例掌指关节绞锁的病例。老年人中之前无症状的中指关节最易受累。所有病例的关节影像学检查均显示有退行性改变。2例患者关节自行解锁，另外6例患者接受了手术松解。结合绞锁机制及手术治疗对该病的重要解剖学特征进行了讨论。
