Trajectory of Recovery following ORIF for Distal Radius Fractures
Conclusion Recovery after ORIF for distal radius fractures showed significant worsening after surgery, followed by significant improvements up to 1 year and between years 1 and 5, albeit to a lesser extent. Statistically and clinically relevant wrist pain and disability persisted at 5 years. Future research should examine different treatment modalities and include a nonoperative treatment arm for comparison.

Rehabilitation after Distal Radius Fractures: Opportunities for Improvement
Conclusions There is no consensus on a standardized exercise protocol for rehabilitation after distal radius fractures, neither from a systematic literature search nor from a nationwide survey. Smart technology may facilitate monitoring of patients and exercise adherence, hereby supporting self-efficacy and improving adherence and outcomes.

Radially Displaced Perilunate Injuries: A Report of Two Cases
We present two unusual cases of radially displaced perilunate dislocations, one of which involved acute ulnar nerve compression requiring Guyon's canal release. The first case underwent closed reduction and cast immobilization but developed scapholunate instability, necessitating secondary ligament reconstruction. The second case, treated with open reduction and fixation, resulted in persistent volar intercalated segment instability of the proximal row and ulnar nerve paresthesia 1 year after surgery [...] Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc. 333 Seventh Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USAArticle in Thieme eJournals: Ta...

Synthetic Tape Augmentation for Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint Instability: Surgical Technique
We describe a technique to repair the dorsal radial ligament and augment the repair with dorsal synthetic tape. To illustrate this technique, we describe a patient who underwent the synthetic tape augmentation procedure for recurrent thumb CMC instability after a failed Eaton–Littler reconstruction. Preoperative and postoperative grip strength, appositional pinch, oppositional pinch, radial abduction, palmar abduction, and postoperative quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) were recorded. At final follow-up 18 months after surgery, the patient had returned to manual work without any functional seq...

Bridge Plate Distraction for Complex Distal Radius Fractures: A Cohort Study and Systematic Review of the Literature
Conclusion DP is a valid and useful technique for treating complex distal radius fractures. It displays a lower risk of infection and pain compared to external fixation which is commonly used to treat similar injuries. Patients can recover well following treatment both in function and range of motion. Further high-quality studies are required to fully evaluate the technique.

Distribution and Characteristics of Carpal Bone Tumors: A Systematic Review
Conclusion The most frequent carpal bones observed were the scaphoid, capitate, and hamate. Most tumors were benign. The most common tumor types were osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, and giant cell tumor. Metastatic carpal tumors were most commonly from lung carcinoma. Chondrosarcoma and hemangioendothelial sarcoma were the most common primary malignancies.

A Novel Technique Using the Dorsal Capsule of the Distal Radioulnar Joint for Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendon Subsheath Reconstruction
Conclusion We present our first seven cases of ECU subsheath reconstruction with the dorsal capsule of the DRUJ. Our results in the short term have been satisfactory. The technique does not disrupt the integrity of the extensor retinaculum, which is essential for optimal extensor tendon function, and can also be considered as an option to salvage failed procedures.

Effective Risk Assessment for Distal Radius Fractures: A Rigorous Multivariable Regression Analysis, Using a Novel 8-Item Modified Frailty Index
Conclusion While surgical decision-making for frail patients with DRFs remains contentious, this novel 8-item MFI score was significantly associated with the probability of hospital readmission/reoperation, postoperative complications, and delayed hospital length of stay. Three new parameters were incorporated into our 8-item score compared with the conventional 5; hypoalbuminemia status (< 3.5 mg/dL), previous diagnosis of osteoporosis, and severe obesity (body mass index > 35) enhancing its sensitivity. Future studies are warranted for its prospective utility in ruling out postsurgical comorbidity. [...] Th...

Biomechanical Comparison of Distal Radioulnar Joint Reconstruction Graft Preparation Techniques
Conclusions In this biomechanical study, augmentation of porcine tendons with suture spaced at either 6 or 12 mm for DRUJ reconstruction significantly increased survival to a staircase cyclic loading protocol
Clinical Relevance For the Adams–Berger reconstruction, tendon grafts augmented along their entire length by nonabsorbable braided suture are biomechanically superior to tendon alone.

The “Bubble Test” in the Arthroscopic Diagnosis of Triangular Fibrocartilage Central Lesion: Description and Relevance to Treatment
We describe a simple and practical test that we have called the “bubble test” in a typical case to diagnose TFC central injuries, aiming to discriminate partial from complete lesions, which are eventually hard to differentiate through direct vision and arthroscopic probing, leading to a direct influence onto the treatment. The bubble test is performed with external compression of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) aspect, with the thumb on the back of the DRUJ and the index and middle fingers onto the volar aspect. The abrupt compression of this region causes the passage of air mixed with synovial fluid from the DRUJ t...
