Radial Collateral Ligament Laxity of  Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Following Trapeziometacarpal Arthrodesis
CONCLUSIONS: Radial collateral ligament laxity of thumb MCP joint was exacerbated after TM arthrodesis. Greater fixation angle in palmar abduction resulted in more laxity of the joint.TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic IV.PMID:38625067 | DOI:10.1016/j.jhsa.2024.03.006 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm: report of a case involving the temporomandibular joint region and review of the literature
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol. 2024 Jan 11:S2212-4403(24)00001-4. doi: 10.1016/j.oooo.2023.12.791. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN) represents a recently recognized tumor type with only 50 well-documented cases in the English-language literature. Herein we report an additional case of CCMN presenting as a large mass in the temporomandibular joint region of a 41-year-old female. A review of previously reported cases and the current case of CCMN shows the following features: 1) average age 52 years (range 14-87 years) and an approximately even sex distribution; 2)...

Surgical Decision-Making in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Clin Colon Rectal Surg. 2023 Aug 10;37(3):191-197. doi: 10.1055/s-0043-1770732. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTFamilial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting patients with germline mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene. The surgical treatment of colorectal disease in FAP, which has the goal of colorectal cancer prevention, varies based on both patient and disease factors but can include the following: total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, proctocolectomy with stapled or hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, or total proctocolectomy with end ileostom...

Differences in the Difficulty of Accessing Various 3-Dimensional Locations Under Mirror-Image Conditions During Laparoscopic Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In performing laparoscopic surgery under mirror-image conditions, the technical difficulty varies by location, and operating in locations close to the forceps port is the most difficult.PMID:38619155 | DOI:10.1097/SLE.0000000000001087 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Equal short-term outcomes of intracorporeal mechanical gastrogastrostomy in laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy for cT1N0 gastric cancer in the middle stomach compared with the extracorporeal hand-sewing method
CONCLUSION: IMG is safe regarding ARCs compared with EHG. These results will encourage surgeons to introduce IMG for patients with early middle gastric cancer.PMID:38619559 | DOI:10.1007/s00464-024-10823-w (Source: Hand Surgery)

Take a shot! Natural language control of intelligent robotic X-ray systems in surgery
CONCLUSION: Voice interfaces offer a convenient, flexible way for surgeons to manipulate C-arms based on desired outcomes rather than device-specific processes. As LLMs grow increasingly capable, so too will their applications in supporting higher-level interactions with surgical assistance systems.PMID:38619790 | DOI:10.1007/s11548-024-03120-3 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Pressure Infusor Assisted Arthrocentesis
J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2024 Mar 28:S0278-2391(24)00205-2. doi: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.03.023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTemporomandibular joint internal disorders commonly present with limited mouth opening and pain. Treatment options range from invasive surgical procedures to minimally invasive interventions. This technical note aims to introduce a modification to the arthrocentesis technique in which a pressure infusion cuff (VBM Classic Infusor, Medizintechnik GmbH, Germany) is used for irrigation instead of syringes or peristaltic pumps. A pressure infusion cuff (bag) is an inflatable bag with a hand pump and a sphyg...
