Isolated dislocation of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joints is a rare injury that accounts for less than 1% of hand injuries. Few cases of isolated volar dislocations of the fifth CMC joint have been reported, making such injuries worthy of reporting. Given the rarity of these injuries, they are easily overlooked in the emergency setting and thus require a high index of clinical suspicion. Read More

Terrible triad of the elbow and the Essex-Lopresti injury are both rare lesions with a historically poor clinical outcome. We present the case of a unique association of the two injuries with an elbow dislocation, radial and coronoid process fractures and a distal radioulnar joint dislocation due to an interosseous membrane rupture. The case was managed with closed reduction of the elbow dislocation and distal radioulnar joint followed by open reduction and repair of the damaged structures in the elbow and an unloading of the interosseous membrane.

Distal ulna fracture fixation plates commonly cause irritation, necessitating removal, due to the narrow area between the ulna articular cartilage and the extensor carpi ulnaris. This study defines the safe zone for plate application and determines whether wrist position affects risk of impingement. Four different distal ulna anatomic plates (Acumed, Medartis, Skeletal Dynamics, and Synthes) were applied to 12 cadaveric specimens. Read More

 The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon rupture and factors leading to this rupture during the follow-up of patients who underwent volar plate fixation because of distal radius fracture.  A total of 109 distal radius fractures of 102 patients treated with volar plate fixation and periodically followed up for at least 1 year between January 2013 and May 2018 were evaluated. Fractures were categorized according to the AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) Fracture-Dislocation Classification and Soong's grading was used for classifying volar plate position.

Scapholunate (SL) ligament injuries can occur concomitantly with distal radius fractures (DRFs), and the management of acute SL injury in the setting of DRFs remains controversial. The purpose of the study is to identify the radiographic incidence of SL widening in DRF treated with volar plate fixation and to determine the functional outcomes of DRF with concomitant radiographic SL-widening. One hundred and seventeen patients with DRFs, with and without radiographic SL-widening, and treated with volar locked plating, were prospectively enrolled. Read More

Ulnar-sided wrist pain is a common issue among athletes subjecting their wrists to forceful rotational movements. Injury to the numerous complex structures in the ulnar wrist, including the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon and the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), can result in ulnar-sided wrist pain. Although differentiating between ECU tendinitis and TFCC injury is necessary, concurrent ECU tendon disorders and TFCC injury occur occasionally in some patients. Read More

Background: Ulnar lengthening is a consensus treatment for hereditary multiple exostoses with radial head dislocation in pediatric patients; however, the optimal amount of ulnar lengthening remains unclear. It is necessary to look for a parameter to decide the amount of ulnar lengthening that will avoid recurrence and complications. The purpose of the present study was to confirm that proportional ulnar length (ulnar length/radial length) can be used as a scale for ulnar lengthening in pediatric patients. Read More

Currently, the most commonly used method of treatment of patients with fractures of the metacarpal bones is closed reposition with immobilization of short-arm cast. This often leads to dislocation of fragments, their malunion, which leads to wrist functionality disorders and reduces the quality of patients' life. The main way to eliminate the deformities ‒ osteotomy of the metacarpal bones, followed by osteosynthesis. Read More

Historically, scaphoid nonunion has been surgically treated with vascularized bone graft taken from multiple different anatomic sites. However, none of these grafts fully recapitulate the unique osteoligamentous anatomy of the proximal pole of the scaphoid and the attachment of the scapholunate ligament (SLIL). We studied the anatomy of the vascularized second metatarsal head with its lateral collateral ligament as a potential novel treatment of proximal pole scaphoid nonunion with collapse. Read More

Rationale: Most pediatric distal radius fractures are effectively treated nonoperatively; however, operative intervention is indicated in patients with open and highly unstable fractures, in those with concomitant neurovascular injuries and in patients whom soft tissue interposition between fracture fragments precludes anatomical reduction. Notably, soft tissue interposition between fracture fragments is diagnostically challenging. Surgeons must be mindful of this rare complication for early detection and prompt treatment. Read More
