Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to report our experience regardingpatients who were surgically treated due to hypothenarhammer syndrome and review the related literature.Patients and methods: The study included 11 hands of eightpatients (5 males, 3 females; mean age 48 years; range 29 to 60years) who underwent surgery due to hypothenar hammer syndromebetween September 2004 and March 2013. Mean follow-up periodwas 50 months (range 3-103 months). The time of symptom onset,occupational history, and detailed physical examination findingswere recorded. Surgery was performed under sedation and axillaryanesthesia. Distal segment of the forearm, all thrombosed segmentsof the Guyon and superficial arch were removed. Reconstruction ofthe ulnar artery and the superficial arch was performed using veingrafts obtained from the forearm.Results: While all patients dominant hand was affected, bothhands were affected in three patients. All patients complainedof pain and color change in one finger or multiple fingers.While minimal amputation and debridement of fingertip pulpwas performed in two patients, all other patients recovereduneventfully. Patency of the ulnar artery was uneventful atfollow-up in five of the eight patients, whereas three patientswere performed revision surgery for a new vein graft. Mostpatient complaints resolved during the follow-up period.Conclusion: Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a disease ofthe upper extremities that should be considered in patients withdigital ischemia, and a history of manual labor and smoking.Although this disease can be treated with conservative therapy,advance-stage patients who fail to respond to conservativetreatment can be treated surgically with vein grafts.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hipotenar çekiç sendromu nedeniylecerrahi tedavi yapılan hastalarla ilgili deneyimlerimiz sunulduve ilgili literatür gözden geçirildi.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya Eylül 2004 - Mart2013 tarihleri arasında hipotenar çekiç sendromu nedeniylecerrahi geçiren sekiz hastanın (5 erkek, 3 kadın; ort. yaş48 yıl; dağılım 29-60 yıl) 11 eli dahil edildi. Ortalamatakip süresi 50 aydı (dağılım 3-103 ay). Semptom başlamazamanı, mesleki öykü ve ayrıntılı fizik muayene bulgularıkaydedildi. Cerrahi sedasyon ve aksiller anestezi altındagerçekleştirildi. Ön kolun distal kısmı, Guyon ve yüzeyelarktaki tüm tromboze kısımlar çıkartıldı. Ulnar arter veyüzeyel ark rekonstrüksiyonları ön koldan alınan vengreftleri kullanılarak yapıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların tamamının dominant eli etkilenirkenüç hastada iki el etkilenmişti. Tüm hastalar bir veyabirkaç parmağında ağrı ve renk değişikliğinden yakındı.İki hastanın parmak ucu pulpasından minimal amputasyonve debridman yapılırken diğer hastaların tamamı sorunsuziyileşti. Takiplerinde, sekiz hastanın beşinde ulnar arteraçıklığı sorunsuz iken üç hastaya yeni ven grefti için revizyoncerrahisi yapıldı. Hastaların yakınmalarının çoğu takipsürecinde ortadan kalktı.Sonuç: Hipotenar çekiç sendromu, parmak iskemisi veel işleri ile sigara öyküsü olan hastalarda dikkate alınmasıgereken, üst ekstremitelerin bir hastalığıdır. Bu hastalıkkonservatif olarak tedavi edilebilse de konservatif tedaviyeyanıt vermeyen ileri dönem hastalar ven greftleri ile cerrahiolarak tedavi edilebilir.
