Diagnostic Performance of Artificial Intelligence for Detection of Scaphoid and Distal Radius Fractures: A Systematic Review
To review the existing literature to (1) determine the diagnostic efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI) models for detecting scaphoid and distal radius fractures and (2) compare the efficacy to human clinical experts. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Efficacy of Intra-Articular Corticosteroid Injection for Nonsurgical Management of Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
As osteoarthritis (OA) of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint leads to a high degree of disease burden with compromises in rudimentary and fine movements of the hand, intra-articular injections may be a desirable treatment option. However, because there are no evidence-based guidelines, the choice of intra-articular injection type is left to the discretion of the individual surgeon in collaboration with the patient. The purpose of our study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis using level I studies to compare outcomes following corticosteroid and alternative methods of intra-articular injections for the mana...

A Comparison of Patient Characteristics and Outcomes Between Patients Receiving Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Slip Excision or Isolated A1 Pulley Release for Trigger Finger
Resection of the radial or ulnar slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon is a known treatment option for persistent trigger finger. Risk factors for undergoing FDS slip excision are unclear. We hypothesized that patients who underwent A1 pulley release with FDS slip excision secondary to persistent triggering would have a higher comorbidity burden compared to those receiving A1 pulley release alone.

Biological Versus Nonbiological Reconstruction of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint: A Retrospective Study
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes of biological ligament reconstruction (BLR) versus nonbiological ligament reconstruction (NBLR) for chronic injuries involving the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb ’s metacarpophalangeal joint.

On the Physiology of the Sensory-Collapse Test
The sensory-collapse test (formerly the scratch-collapse test) is a physical examination finding describing a momentary inhibition of external shoulder rotation following light stimulation of an injured nerve in the ipsilateral limb. Similar to other physical examination tests designed to interrogate nerve compression, such as the Phalen or Tinel tests, its test characteristics demonstrate variation. There remains speculation about the test ’s existence and anatomic basis. The literature of mammalian reflex physiology was reviewed with an emphasis on the sensory pathways from the upper extremity, the extrapyramidal syste...

Erratum
In the article by Siebert et al in the January 2024 issue of The Journal of Hand Surgery (“Evaluating Factors Associated With Patient-Perceived Applicability of the QuickDASH Survey in Reflecting Their Goals of Care Prior to Hand Surgery”, Vol. 49, No. 1, p. 35-41), there was a minor error in the Purpose section. The seco nd sentence should have used “relevant” instead of “responsive.” The complete sentence is as follows: “We hypothesized that patients experiencing greater upper extremity disability and greater pain interference would be more likely to report that the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder...

Validation of the Root Analysis Score for C5 Viability in Patients With Pan –Brachial Plexus Injury
Pan –brachial plexus injury patients present a reconstructive challenge. The root analysis score, developed from parsimonious multivariable modeling of 311 pan–brachial plexus injury patients, determines the probability of having a viable C5 nerve based on four categories: positive C5 Tinel test, in tact C5 nerve on computed tomography myelogram, lack of hemidiaphragmatic elevation, and absence of midcervical paraspinal fibrillations.
