Zusammenfassung

Die Hand ist eine von der rheumatoiden Arthritis sehr häufig betroffene Region. Die Entzündungen und Schwellungen der Finger- und Handgelenke beeinträchtigen den Patienten im Anfangsstadium durch Schmerzen und Einschränkungen der Beweglichkeit. In weiterer Folge kommt es zu Destruktionen der Gelenke sowie zu Deformitäten und damit zu schweren Beeinträchtigungen der Handfunktion.

Gelenkversteifungen werden in erster Linie an den distalen Interphalangeal(DIP)-Gelenken, am Grund- und Interphalangeal(IP)-Gelenk des Daumens und am Handgelenk eingesetzt. Am Handgelenk werden ebenso Teilarthrodesen zur Stabilisierung von bereits destruierten Gelenken und Prophylaxe weiterer Destabilisierung vorgenommen.

Die Arthrodese ist an den erwähnten Gelenken der Hand ein probates Mittel zur Therapie rheumatischer Destruktionen.

Abstract

The hand of rheumatoid patients is frequently affected. Inflammation and swelling of the fingers and the wrist affect patients in early stages with pain and restriction of mobility. Subsequently, inflammation leads to destruction of the joints, deformation, and, thus, to severe functional impairment of the hand. Arthrodesis is primarily related to the distal interphalangeal joints, the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the thumbs, and the wrist. One also can use partial arthrodesis to stabilize a destroyed joint and to prevent further destabilization. Arthrodesis of the joints mentioned in the hand is an effective way to treat rheumatic destruction.
