Arthroscopic treatment of metacarpophalangeal arthropathy in haemochromatosis.
The Journal of Hand Surgery: British & European Volume(1994)
Abstract
A 37-year-old sports teacher suffering from idiopathic haemochromatosis with arthropathy of the MP joints has been treated and followed-up by us for 4 years. Three out of four affected MP joints were treated with arthroscopic operations; one of these had been treated elsewhere previously by arthrotomy. This article presents a brief review of the condition and its treatment by arthroscopic surgery with detailed technique. We believe that MP joint arthroscopy in certain cases is an alternative to open surgery and gives excellent results. No specific instruments are needed apart from a standard small joint arthroscopy set.
