Abstrakt: Hemi-hamate arthroplasty is a method used to reconstruct complex fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers. Other graft sites, including the toe second and third phalanges, have been proposed as alternatives to hemi-hamate arthroplasty due to variable clinical outcomes and anatomy. Through a prospective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based study in asymptomatic individuals, we aimed to characterize the anatomy of the proximal interphalangeal joint and compare this with the hamate, second and third toes to determine the closest anatomical match using pre-determined measurements. Our results show that the second and third toes have greater anatomical similarity to the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers compared to the hamate. High-resolution MRI is a reliable method of characterizing the anatomy of these structures and could be a useful clinical tool in determining reconstructive options in the management of this challenging injury. Level of evidence: II.
