Demystifying Swan Neck Deformities of the Hand
Presented by: Shrikant J. Chinchalkar, M.Th.O, OTR, CHT

January 30th, 2025, 7.00 – 9.00 pm (Melbourne Australia Time)

 

Webinar Description:

Swan neck deformity, characterized by hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint and flexion of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, arises from excessive tension on the extensor apparatus. Rather than a standalone diagnosis, this deformity serves as a symptom secondary to various underlying pathologies, including retinacular, tendinous, articular, or skeletal disorders that contribute to PIP joint hyperextension. This webinar delves into the pathomechanics and management of these conditions, employing clinical videos, cadaveric dissections, and animations to provide a clear and accessible understanding of this complex phenomenon.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Examine the various causes of swan neck deformity, such as flexor and extensor tendon injuries and articular abnormalities.
  2. Describe the biomechanical effects of these pathologies on the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints.
  3. Recognize the functional impact of swan neck deformity on hand movement and dexterity.
  4. Explore treatment options designed to counteract the negative effects of swan neck deformity on hand function.
  5. Interpret key visuals, including fluoroscopic and cadaveric studies, to clarify treatment approaches.
