Distal Upper Extremity Arterial Calcification as a Predictor for Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease by Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2024 Apr 24;12(4):e5768. doi: 10.1097/GOX.0000000000005768. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTSeveral studies have linked calcification of the thoracic and lower extremity arterial trunks to an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD). Calcifications of the radial and/or ulnar artery are regularly identified in hand/wrist x-rays; however, the clinical relevance of these findings as related to identifying subclinical CAD is not well understood. Associations between CAD and upper extremity calcifications have been reported, but the timeline is unclear. The purpose of this study was...

Surgical treatment of painful neuroma in amputated and non-amputated patients: does the level of neurotomy affect clinical outcomes?
CONCLUSION: DN seemed to give better results in amputees but there were confusing factors related to associated lesions. In other situations, the non-inferiority of PN was demonstrated. PN could be of interest for treating neuromas of superficial sensory nerves, for avoiding direct revision of a well-fitted stump and in conjunction with TMR.PMID:38662211 | DOI:10.1007/s00068-024-02529-4 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Accuracy of Three-dimensional Scan Technology and Its Possible Function in the Field of Hand Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the Artec Space Spider 3D scanner demonstrated superior precision when scanning a 3D-printed replica, deviating only slightly from the original data, making it an optimal choice for nonmoving objects such as casts or medical instruments. For scanning human hands, the Artec Eva 3D scanner exhibited the highest performance, offering accuracy comparable to the Artec Space Spider, but with the added benefit of being able to scan larger objects.PMID:38655101 | PMC:PMC11037731 | DOI:10.1097/GOX.0000000000005745 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Novel figure-of-eight reconstruction with free tendon graft for unrepairable collateral ligament of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint
CONCLUSION: The novel Jobe-like figure-of-eight reconstruction technique using palmaris longus graft was useful for reconstructing irreparable thumb metacarpophalangeal joint instability without an incision on the opposite side or an additional implant.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level IV.PMID:38657737 | DOI:10.1016/j.hansur.2024.101696 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Transfer of Motor Fascicle From the Ulnar Nerve to the Axillary Nerve by Posterior Access. New Approach
We describe a new technique of transferring the motor branch ulnar nerve (UN) to the axillary nerve (AN) by posterior approach. Three patients with C5, C6, and C7 brachial plexus injury were operated. By supraclavicular approach, the spinal accessory was transferred to the suprascapular nerve. By posterior approach in the arm, the AN was identified within the quadrilateral space, and the UN was identified medially with intrafascicular dissection of a motor fascicle, which is lifted to 4 cm in length and transferred to AN. By medial approach, a motor branch from the median nerve is transferred to the biceps nerve. At a foll...

Outcomes after radioscapholunate arthrodesis for intra-articular malunion of distal radius fractures
CONCLUSION: RSL arthrodesis (using locked miniplates without distal scaphoid excision) is a reliable surgical procedure to manage cases of radiocarpal OA after intra-articular malunion of distal radius fractures with good clinical and radiological outcomes.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV- therapeutic.PMID:38652314 | DOI:10.1007/s00590-024-03934-6 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Correction of Congenital Syndactyly of the Hand with Minimal Full-Thickness Skin Graft from the Weight-Bearing Midline Plantar Area
CONCLUSION: Correction of congenital hand syndactyly using midline plantar FTSG from the weight-bearing area can reduce scarring on the hand dorsum, ensure superior color similarity with surrounding skin, and offer inconspicuous donor sites compared to no-skin-graft or groin FTSG techniques.PMID:38652871 | DOI:10.1097/PRS.0000000000011484 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Surgical Techniques in Non-Traumatic Midcarpal Instability: Evaluating the Dorsal Capsulodesis and Three-Ligament Tenodesis Technique
CONCLUSIONS: Both 3LT and dorsal capsulodesis demonstrate promising results for addressing non-traumatic MCI. However, considering the quicker recovery and faster return to work associated with dorsal capsulodesis, we recommend favoring capsulodesis over 3LT when both surgical options are deemed suitable for the patient.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.PMID:38652927 | DOI:10.1097/PRS.0000000000011489 (Source: Hand Surgery)
