Effect of Preservation of Corticoperiosteal Attachment on Bone Healing at Osteotomy Sites after Ulna-shortening OsteotomyHAND - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 105-110 - 2015
Yoshitaka Hamada, Koichi Sairyo, Naohito Hibino, Anna Kobayashi, Ryosuke Sato
Background Although precise ulna-shortening osteotomy is popular, the procedure
sometimes results in delayed union or nonunion. The periosteum including the
inner cambium layer plays an important role in fracture healing. We tested the
hypothesis that preservation of the corticoperiosteal attachment may accelerate
healing at osteotomy sites after ulna-shortening osteotomy. Methods We performed

An Osteochondroma Limiting Flexion of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint in Hereditary Multiple Exostosis: A Case ReportHAND - - 2010
Shinji Yoshioka, Yoshitaka Hamada, Shigeo Takata, Hiroaki Takai, Natsuo Yasui
We describe a patient in which an osteochondroma, which resulted from hereditary
multiple exostoses, limited flexion of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint
at birth. The tumor grew over the original distal head of the proximal phalanx,
and the early appearance of a second ossification center on the base of the
middle phalanx was observed. The mass was removed surgically when the patient
was 1... hiện toàn bộ
Perilunate injuriesHAND - Tập 6 - Trang 1-7 - 2010
Robert Najarian, Ali Nourbakhsh, John Capo, Virak Tan
Perilunate dislocations and fracture dislocations are most often a result of
high-energy trauma, exerting an axial load with hyperextension and ulnar
deviation of the wrist, along with intercarpal supination. Early treatment of
perilunate injuries is necessary to optimize the clinical outcome. Although
closed management has been the more commonly reported treatment for perilunate
injuries, the cur... hiện toàn bộ
Biomechanical Stability of Four Fixation Constructs for Distal Radius FracturesHAND - Tập 4 - Trang 272-278 - 2009
John T. Capo, Tosca Kinchelow, Kenneth Brooks, Virak Tan, Michaele Manigrasso, Kristin Francisco
Implants available for distal radius fracture fixation include dorsal nonlocked
plating (DNLP), volar locked plating (VLP), radial–ulnar dual-column locked
plating (DCPs), and locked intramedullary fixation (IMN). This study examines
the biomechanical properties of these four different fixation constructs. In 28
fresh-frozen radii, a wedge osteotomy was performed, creating an unstable
fracture mod... hiện toàn bộ
Hand function in female patients with hand osteoarthritis: relation with radiological progressionHAND - Tập 7 - Trang 335-340 - 2012
Esma Ceceli, Sebahat Gül, Pınar Borman, Selma Ramadan Uysal, Müyesser Okumuş
We aimed to investigate the effect of hand osteoarthritis (HOA) on hand
strength, dexterity, and upper extremity functional scores, as well as to
determine the relation of radiological severity of HOA with these parameters.
Sixty patients and 40 controls were enrolled in the study. The presence of hand
pain, nodes, and tenderness in hand joints was determined. Grip and pinch
strengths were measure... hiện toàn bộ
Posterolateral instability of the elbow in an adolescent boy with a lateral epicondyle fracture: a case reportHAND - Tập 6 - Trang 71-75 - 2010
John Capo, Babak Khamsi, Ali Nourbakhsh
Posterolateral rotatory instability of elbow is considered to be due to the
disruption of the ulnar part of the lateral collateral ligament (LUCL). This
instability pattern may also be induced by a fracture of components of the
lateral column. We present the case of a 16-year-old boy who fell on his left
outstretched arm as he attempted to jump over a tennis net. On initial physical
examination, t... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of cold sensitivity in patients with hand pathologyHAND - Tập 10 - Trang 173-176 - 2014
Christine B. Novak, Steven J. McCabe
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of cold sensitivity in
patients with hand- and wrist-related diagnoses. We included English-speaking
adults who were more than 1 month following hand injury or onset of symptoms.
Patients were asked if exposure to cold air or water provoked cold-related
symptoms and to rank symptom severity (scale 0–10). Statistical analyses
evaluated the re... hiện toàn bộ
New workhorse flaps in hand reconstructionHAND - Tập 7 - Trang 45-54 - 2012
Jeffrey B. Friedrich, William C. Pederson, Allen T. Bishop, Paula Galaviz, James Chang
With the passage of time, certain hand surgery procedures are anecdotally dubbed
“workhorse” techniques. These are procedures that are extremely reliable and
have repeatedly demonstrated good results. However, with time, paradigms undergo
shifts, and this is as true for hand surgery as any other field. In this
article, we will describe the use of three new “workhorse” flaps that we have
found to h... hiện toàn bộ
