1 Arthroscopic Repair of Collateral Ligaments in Metacarpophalangeal Joints 
Brenon L. Abernathie, M.D., Andrew J. Lovy, M.D., M.S., Steven M. Koehler, M.D., Michael R. Hausman, M.D.  Arthroscopy Techniques  Volume 4, Issue 2, Pages e97-e100 (April 2015) DOI: /j.eats Copyright © 2015 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Arthroscopic visualization of suture anchor site preparation through viewing portal of uninjured side of small finger metacarpophalangeal joint. On the left is the metacarpal head that has been debrided and drilled to accept the suture anchor (arrow). The asterisk denotes the avulsed collateral ligament.

3 Fig 2 Arthroscopic visualization of suture anchor placement through viewing portal of uninjured side of small finger metacarpophalangeal joint. The metacarpal head is seen at the bottom, with the anchor sutures (arrow) coming distally from their placement near the radial metacarpal recess near the anatomic origin of the collateral ligament. The avulsed collateral ligament (asterisk) can be seen retracted toward the proximal phalanx in the distance.

4 Fig 3 Passing of anchor sutures through collateral ligament through viewing portal of uninjured side of small finger metacarpophalangeal joint. The metacarpal head is seen inferiorly. The threads of the suture anchor (arrow) can be seen coming up from the radial metacarpal recess near the anchor's insertion to the right. A needle is seen attempting to pierce the collateral ligament (asterisk) so that a suture shuttle can be used to retrieve the anchor sutures.
