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
Brodie’s Abscess of the Distal Radius: An Unusual Complication after Percutaneous PinningHAND - Tập 3 - Trang 381-384 - 2008
Jeff W. Johnson, Randip R. Bindra
We report a case of Brodie’s abscess of the distal radius that presented 4 years after closed reduction and percutaneous pinning for a closed distal radius fracture. This condition has not been previously reported in the adult distal radius and we detail the clinical features and imaging findings. We also present a new way of management of Brodie’s abscess using injectable bone substitute along wi...... hiện toàn bộ
Limitations of Conduits in Peripheral Nerve RepairsHAND - Tập 4 - Trang 180-186 - 2009

Nerve conduits have emerged as alternatives to autologous nerve grafts, but their use in large-diameter nerve deficits remains untested. We report four patients who underwent repair of large-diameter nerves using absorbable nerve conduits and discuss the failed clinical outcomes. The reported cases demonstrate the importance of evaluating the length, diameter, and function of nerves undergoing con...... hiện toàn bộ
The Evolution of the Pedicled Radial Forearm FlapHAND - Tập 5 - Trang 37-42 - 2009
Kai Megerle, Michael Sauerbier, Günter Germann
Because of the thin skin envelope of the hand, especially at the dorsum, flaps are frequently required for defect reconstruction in the hand. The pedicled radial forearm flap is a time proven procedure that offers reliable coverage in this area without the need of advanced microsurgical expertise. Despite several alternatives and an increasing acceptance of free tissue transfers, the pedicled radi...... hiện toàn bộ
Disability and pain after cortisone versus placebo injection for trapeziometacarpal arthrosis and de Quervain syndromeHAND - Tập 8 - Trang 375-381 - 2013
Dennis J. S. Makarawung, Stéphanie J. E. Becker, Stijn Bekkers, David Ring
This study tested the null hypothesis that type of injection (corticosteroid vs. placebo) is not a predictor of arm-specific disability as measured with the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire 1 to 3 months after injection of dexamethasone or placebo for treatment of trapeziometacarpal (TMC) arthrosis or de Quervain syndrome. Secondly, we tested if type of injection was a predicto...... hiện toàn bộ
Joint space height correlates with arthroscopic grading of wrist arthritisHAND - Tập 8 - Trang 296-301 - 2013
David M. Bear, Gele Moloney, Robert J. Goitz, Marshall L. Balk, Joseph E. Imbriglia
Osteoarthritis of the radiocarpal joints is commonly encountered by hand surgeons. To date, there is no well-defined method of radiographically grading osteoarthritis of the wrist. Preoperative radiographs of 48 patients undergoing wrist arthroscopy were evaluated retrospectively. Images were graded subjectively by five surgeons based on overall severity of arthritis, osteophytes, subchondral cyst...... hiện toàn bộ
The patient’s perspective on carpal tunnel surgery related to the type of anesthesia: a prospective cohort studyHAND - Tập 8 - Trang 47-53 - 2012
Peter G. Davison, Tyson Cobb, Donald H. Lalonde
The purpose of this study was to provide prospective independently analyzed evidence on how patients feel about a carpal tunnel release (CTR) performed under local anesthesia only (no sedation or tourniquet) versus with local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, and a tourniquet. This prospective cohort study compared 100 consecutive CTRs done with only lidocaine and epinephrine in Saint John, N...... hiện toàn bộ
Attritional Extensor Tendon Rupture in a Patient with Phialophora Verrucosa Tenosynovitis: Case ReportHAND - - 2015
Michael Sorkin, Theodore A. Kung, Kevin C. Chung
Abstract Deep tissue fungal infections of the hand are exceedingly uncommon. We present a case of fungal tenosynovitis caused by Phialophora verrucosa that led to extensor tendon rupture in a patient who was on chronic immunosuppressive therapy. Indolent fungal cysts can elude clinical diagnosis until excision is performed with definitive pathologic examination. In immunocompromised patie...... hiện toàn bộ
Airbag-induced thumb avulsion: two case reportsHAND - Tập 10 - Trang 147-151 - 2014
Anne-Marie C. C. Stoel, Jeroen Vanhaecke, Marleen Dezillie, Dirk Oosterlinck, Filip Stockmans
Although airbags are designed to save lives and protect victims from serious injuries, airbag deployment can cause unwanted lesions. In this case report, two cases are presented of young women who sustained an important fracture dislocation of the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC I joint) caused by airbag deployment during a car collision.
