Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Hand Deformities:

1.	Epinephrine (Adrenaline)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/2015 - "This study aims to determine the effectiveness of one-per-million tumescent solution (1:1,000,000 epinephrine concentration) in creating a bloodless operative field in post-burn hand deformity surgeries performed without a tourniquet. "
2.	Freeman-Sheldon syndromeIBA 09/01/1983 - "[Hand deformities in Freeman-Sheldon syndrome and their surgical treatment]." 12/01/1982 - "[Surgical treatment of the hand deformity in Freeman-Sheldon syndrome]." 01/01/2013 - "Children born with the rare congenital condition Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) have a characteristic facial appearance: microstomia, a long philtrum, 'H-shaped' chin abnormality and 'pinched lips' in addition to extra-facial features such as kyphoscoliosis and hand deformities. "
3.	PlasticsIBA 03/01/1985 - "[Plastic reconstruction of burned hand deformities in the late stage]." 01/01/1967 - "[Plastic and reconstructive surgery for hand deformities]."
4.	Collagen Type I (Type I Collagen)IBA 09/01/2005 - "OI, affecting the type I collagen tissue of the sclera, skin, ligaments, and skeleton, presenting with ligament laxity resulting in subluxations and hand deformities may be misdiagnosed as hand deformities of rheumatoid arthritis."
5.	DiamondIBA 01/01/1992 - "A number of structural anomalies were observed: the classic hand deformity, extended legs, diamond-shaped head, open mouth and a severe cardiac abnormality. "
6.	Interleukin-6 (Interleukin 6)IBA 01/01/2014 - "Across the SLE groups plasma IL-6 levels correlated with CRP (p < 0.001), hand deformity scores (p = 0.005), BILAG musculoskeletal score (p = 0.009), wrist PD score (p = 0.01), the presence of tenosynovitis (p = 0.008) and total US activity score (p < 0.001) (which remained constant when corrected for total BILAG score). "
7.	Tuberculin (PPD)IBA 07/01/2013 - "For example, the triphalangeal thumb, preaxial polysyndactyly, and the mirror hand deformity are considered as forms of PPD only in the genetics literature. "
8.	Silver Sulfadiazine (SSD)FDA LinkGeneric 09/30/2007 - "On follow-up, the burned hands healed faster using local MEBO (10.48 versus 14.53 days), with fewer post-burn hand deformities and better active hand movements; however, the total cost until complete hand burn wound healing was higher with MEBO than with 1% SSD, although the final results were superior, with early return to work, when MEBO was used. "
9.	SiliconesIBA 06/01/2009 - "Despite the potential barriers to silicone metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis patients with more severe hand deformities, surgical treatment is still beneficial."
10.	IronIBA 06/01/1994 - "Six patients with esophageal stenosis and nine patients (13 hands) with hand deformity (contracted fingers, mitten-like deformity) were treated surgically after anemia and malnutrition were corrected by intravenous iron infusion, high-energy diet, and blood transfusion. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Tendon Transfer 06/01/2012 - "Usually, claw hand deformity and loss of key pinch become problematic, but tendon transfer can be used to restore the lost functions. " 01/01/2003 - "This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of 3 different tendon transfer techniques in restoring grip strength, correcting claw hand deformity, and improving hand function after irreparable ulnar nerve palsy. "
2.	Tourniquets 03/01/2015 - "The one-per-million tumescent technique is effective in facilitating post-burn hand deformity surgeries involving meticulous, multiple, and lengthy procedures by creating a relatively clear operative field without the use of a tourniquet. " 03/01/2015 - "This study aims to determine the effectiveness of one-per-million tumescent solution (1:1,000,000 epinephrine concentration) in creating a bloodless operative field in post-burn hand deformity surgeries performed without a tourniquet. "
3.	Curettage 11/01/2012 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of partial resection of the cortical bone with curettage of the tumor (corticoplasty) for treating hand deformity in Ollier disease. "
4.	Arthroplasty 02/01/2006 - "The purpose of this study was to determine how function, pain, and aesthetics rank in order of importance to RA patients who are considering metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint arthroplasty for rheumatoid hand deformities. " 06/01/2009 - "Despite the potential barriers to silicone metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis patients with more severe hand deformities, surgical treatment is still beneficial."
5.	Tenotomy 01/01/2001 - "Over the past 6 years, 18 cases of severe postburn hand deformities were corrected with extensor tenotomy, joint capsulotomy, and release of volar plate and collateral ligament. "
