Current Implementation of Quality Measures on American Society for Surgery of the Hand Touching Hands Project Outreach Trips
As hand and upper extremity outreach trips increase, guidelines for assessing quality of care are being established. The Global Quality in Upper Extremity Surgery and Training investigators have published validated quality measures deemed to be essential for outreach trips to low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The purpose of this study was to assess baseline implementation of these quality measures across nine international hand surgery outreach sites to LMICs. Additionally, we investigated barriers and facilitators to implementing quality measures and documentation of their implementation. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Do Surgeons Accurately Predict Level of Activity in Patients with Distal Radius Fractures?
One factor influencing the management of distal radius fractures is the functional status of the patient. The purpose of this study was to assess the agreement between patient and surgeon assessments of patient activity level in patients sustaining a distal radius fracture.

Assessing the Effect of Time from Injection of Collagenase to Manipulation on Success Rates in Dupuytren Disease
Dupuytren disease can be managed with an injection of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum enzyme followed by manual manipulation. Although the recommended time from injection to manipulation is 24 –72 hours, patient and physician schedules may not accommodate this time frame. Therefore, we sought to study the impact of time from injection to manipulation on outcomes and complications of collagenase injection. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Natural History of Pediatric Hand and Wrist Ganglion Cysts: Longitudinal Follow-up of a Prospective, Dual-Center Cohort
This investigation describes the outcomes of pediatric ganglion cysts in a prospective cohort that elected not to undergo cyst aspiration or surgical treatment. Our primary aim was to investigate the rate of spontaneous resolution over time among the subset of patients who did not undergo specific treatments. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Prespinal Versus Conventional Hemicontralateral C7 Nerve Transfer in the Treatment of Total Brachial Plexus Roots Avulsion Injuries: A Retrospective Study With a Minimum Follow-Up Period of 4 Years
Contralateral C7 (CC7)-to-median nerve transfer has been commonly used to restore hand function in brachial plexus injury. To shorten the nerve graft, the prespinal route was described and achieved direct coaptation when combined with humeral shortening osteotomy. The limb was positioned at 0 ° shoulder abduction and neutral head position. Given our concern about donor-site morbidity when harvesting the whole CC7 nerve and tension across the neurorrhaphy site after mobilization, we aimed to describe our modified prespinal route and compare its outcomes and complications with the convent ional hemi-CC7 transfer.

Is There a Critical Dorsal Lunate Facet Size in Distal Radius Fractures That Leads to Dorsal Carpal Subluxation? A Biomechanical Study of the Dorsal Critical Corner
Intra-articular distal radius fractures are common and can be associated with carpal instability. Failure to address articular fragments linked to maintaining carpal stability can lead to radiocarpal subluxation or dislocation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the size of a dorsal osteotomy in the dorsal/volar plane of the lunate facet that leads to dorsal carpal subluxation. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Association of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Measures with Injection and Surgical Treatment Response in Patients with De Quervain Tenosynovitis
Treatment of de Quervain tenosynovitis is largely empiric. Patient-Reported Outcomes Management Information System (PROMIS) scores at the time of diagnosis might provide insights into the probability of success of nonsurgical management and predict the necessity for surgical treatment. We aimed to identify which, if any, of the PROMIS metrics may be used to identify patients who will opt for surgery or be managed with injection alone. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Scapholunate Instability: Diagnosis and Management – Classification and Treatment Considerations – Part 2
Intervention for scapholunate instability is aimed at halting the degenerative process by restoring ligament integrity and normalizing carpal kinematics. Part 1 of this Current Concepts article reviewed the anatomy, kinematics, and biomechanical properties of the scapholunate ligament as well as its critical stabilizers. In this section, we provide a foundation for understanding the spectrum of scapholunate ligament instability and incorporate meaningful new anatomical insights that influence treatment considerations.
