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-sho...... hiện toàn bộ
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 pati...... 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
