title: [Diagnosis and therapy of injuries of the lamina fibrocartilaginea of the hand (palmar plate)].
abstract: Authors studied a frequent injury of the finger joints. The anatomy, the mechanism of the injuries, the diagnostic possibilities of the lamina fibrocartilaginea ("palmar plate") and of the palmar ligaments of the joints are described. In the diagnosis a special significance is attached to the stressed and tangential X-ray pictures. They take the part of the conservative treatment of the injury. In cases of dislocations, that cannot be reduced, of open "palmar plate" injuries and of major hyperextension and dislocations of the broken bone scale, operative treatment is thought necessary. In the treatment of the injuries of the "palmar plate" of the PIP joint they use the so called rein method, that keeps the palmar cartilaginous joint capsule, torn at the injury, on its original place, it enables however the active joint movements, the gymnastics and hinders this way the development of the joint contracture.
