Objectives/Interrogation: Blocked MP joints have a poor prognosis in the shelf when operated on a palmar access. We report on the pathomechanism and a new simple method of surgery.

Methods: The MP joints, which are mostly blocked at 50 ° flexion, are band structures that stick to a spur of the metacarpal heads. usually this spur is removed via a palmar access. Most patients treated in this way have a very long convalescence period and the results are only moderately good or bad.

Our dorsal access technique is simpler and involves a severing of the trailing fibers.

Results and Conclusions: 6 patients with entrapment MP-jonts could be treated successfully. The convalescence period was very short.

Illustrative cases, literature review and surgical technique.
