Résumé
The goal of this study was to develop a minimally-invasive, ultrasound-guided percutaneous flexor tendon sheath lavage technique on cadaver model. Two catheters were inserted using ultrasound guidance at the proximal and distal ends of the tendon sheath in 20 fingers from cadaveric forearms. Percutaneous injection of a saline solution colored with methylene blue resulted in anterograde lavage of the flexor tendon sheath. The technique was successful in 13 out of 20 cases. The proximal catheter was in the correct position in 17 cases and the distal catheter was correctly positioned in 15 cases. The flexor tendons were continuous in all cases and had puncture wounds in 9 cases. Based on our study, this minimally-invasive, ultrasound-guided percutaneous lavage of the flexor tendon sheath was effective in 65% of cases and safe in 100% of cases in the index, middle and ring fingers. If this percutaneous lavage fails, it is always possible to switch to a conventional open technique.
