This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Disarticulation and arthrodesis, Gently pull on the digit to create tension, the incision is then extended to reach the axial collateral ligament. STEP 4 Special care is exercised to avoid disturbing the adjacent digit. The removal of the fat pad and the ligation of significant blood vessels, if found, is performed as needed., The joint cavity is then enlarged by curettage using a buhner needle, and a drainage tube is inserted. Continuous irrigation with sterile saline is carried out for 2-3 days. STEP 3 Alternatively, another method is to drill into the sole at the site of infection and exit at the coronary band. Subsequently, a wooden block is affixed to the healthy claw, immobilizing the affected digit by securing it to the block using methyl methacrylate. Additional immobilization is achieved by encasing the digital area in a cast, which is removed after 4 weeks., Special care is exercised to avoid disturbing the adjacent digit. The removal of the fat pad and the ligation of significant blood vessels, if found, is performed as needed. STEP 5 Following the removal of any necrotic tissues, the wound surface is covered with either antiseptic or antibiotic dressing, and a bandage is applied to control bleeding., ARTHRODESIS (MOUSE OVER) STEP 1 Drill a 1-cm canal through the abaxial wall into the joint, and a second canal is drilled from the site of the infection into the joint., A horizontal skin cut is created precisely at the proximal interphalangeal joint level. STEP 2 This incision is extended through the skin down to the bone and the joint capsule, effectively separating the collateral ligament and the deep fascia tendon., Drill a 1-cm canal through the abaxial wall into the joint, and a second canal is drilled from the site of the infection into the joint. STEP 2 The joint cavity is then enlarged by curettage using a buhner needle, and a drainage tube is inserted. Continuous irrigation with sterile saline is carried out for 2-3 days., This incision is extended through the skin down to the bone and the joint capsule, effectively separating the collateral ligament and the deep fascia tendon. STEP 3 Gently pull on the digit to create tension, the incision is then extended to reach the axial collateral ligament., Digital amputation by Disarticulation of P1 and P2 STEP 1 A horizontal skin cut is created precisely at the proximal interphalangeal joint level.
