Intra-articular Pressure in the Distal Radioulnar Joint: A Biomechanical Study
The aim of the study was to use cadaveric models to assess the effect of loading the forearm muscles in different forearm rotations, with or without disruption to the stabilizing components, on the intra-articular pressure of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Clinically Significant Treatment Delay in Pediatric Scaphoid Fractures
Pediatric scaphoid fractures present to treatment in a delayed manner 8% to 29% of the time. The indications for cast immobilization in this population are not clear. The definition of a clinically important treatment delay is based only on anecdotal reports. Successful treatment with a cast may be more desirable than surgical intervention. However, it remains unclear what clinical and radiographic factors may predict success with casting. (Source: The Journal of Hand Surgery)

Amyloidosis and Considerations for the Hand Surgeon
Amyloidosis can lead to cardiac, renal, and other multiorgan failure. New treatments have become available that can prolong survival but rely on early diagnosis. Manifestations of amyloidosis in hand surgery include carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, peripheral neuropathy, and spontaneous distal biceps rupture. Often, these can predate systemic amyloidosis, offering hand surgeons an opportunity to diagnose patients with amyloidosis before systemic disease, refer them for treatment, and potentially alter disease course and prolong survival.
