Surgical Management of Vascular Malformations of the Upper Extremity: A 12-Year Retrospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Upper extremity VMs were composed of diverse conditions with varying vessel types, size, depth, and anatomic sites. Surgical excision of VMs of the UE was safe and effective. A majority of VMs were fully excised after 1 procedure and frequently closed primarily with relatively low complication rates. Future work should investigate decision-making and outcomes of all treatment options of VMs of the UE for optimal functionality and aesthetics.PMID:38556661 | DOI:10.1097/SAP.0000000000003852 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Omega Plate Fixation of Comminuted Olecranon Fractures: Technique and Case Series
We present the omega plate technique, which utilizes a mini-fragment plate passed under the triceps tendon insertion, allowing maximal implant surface area contact with small, proximal olecranon fracture fragments. The mini-fragment plate is not placed on the dorsal subcutaneous border of the ulna, which allows it to capture medial and lateral fragments of cortical comminution and may contribute to less soft tissue irritation.PMID:38556901 | DOI:10.1097/BTH.0000000000000480 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Surgeons Factors and Trends Associated with the Use of Subacromial Decompression at the Time of Rotator Cuff Repair
CONCLUSIONS: Although SAD use during RCR appears to be decreasing, multiple surgeon and practice factors (years in practice, fellowship training, volume, and academic practice) are associated with a change in SAD use.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These data suggest that early-career surgeons entering practice are likely driving the trend of declining SAD. Despite evidence suggesting limited clinical benefits, SAD remains commonly performed; future studies should endeavor to determine factors associated with practice changes among surgeons.PMID:38556963 | DOI:10.1016/j.jhsa.2024.02.002 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Clinical evaluation of bone quality of particulate cancellous bone and marrow, and implant prosthetic rehabilitation
This study aimed to subjectively evaluate bone quality in the particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) graft area and to assess the survival rates of implants. A retrospective review was conducted based on patient age, sex, diagnosis, reconstructed site, number of implants, prosthetic type, and duration of follow-up. Images from computed tomography (CT) before implant insertion were obtained and used in this study. We selected a 4.0-mm diameter × 8.0-mm length region of interest in the implant placement area, and measured the CT attenuation value. No significant correlations were seen between CT attenuation values an...

A new etiology of nontraumatic C0-C1-C2-Complex instability - abnormality of musculus rectus capitis posterior minor: a case report
CONCLUSION: In this case, we not only report the atrophy or absence of RCPmi as a new etiological factor for nontraumatic sagittal plane instability in the C0-C1-C2-complex but also discovered a new function of RCPmi. The cephalad-rearward traction exerted by RCPmi on the C1 posterior arch is essential for the development of a normal C1 anterior-posterior diameter.PMID:38554204 | DOI:10.1007/s00402-024-05275-9 (Source: Hand Surgery)
