Lipofibromatous hamartoma of the radial nerve: An unusual location.

Lipofibromatous hamartoma is a congenital and ineradicable benign tumour of the peripheral nerve sheaths, affecting almost exclusively the median nerve and its branches. It corresponds to an infiltration of the nerve by lipofibramatous tissue that dissociates the fascicles. We report a highly unusual case of a lipofibromatous hamartoma of the radial nerve in the upper extremity in a 52-year-old female patient.

Evaluation of emergency nerve grafting for proper palmar digital nerve defects: a retrospective single centre study.

Hypothesis: Finger trauma often results in discontinuity of the proper palmar digital nerves. The goal of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of emergency nerve grafting and the resulting donor site morbidity.

Material And Method: Three women and 13 men who had been operated between 2008 and 2012 were reviewed.

[Graft reconstruction of flexor tendons].

The improvement of primary flexor tendon repair has limited the indications of secondary repairs to neglected initial wound care and deficiencies in the surgical technique or rehabilitation. The surgical and rehabilitation care is complex and prolonged, requiring full cooperation of the patient. That is why the surgeon must evaluate patient's ability to integrate instructions and to comply with a long and demanding protocol.

Analysis of segmental residual growth after progressive bone lengthening in congenital lower limb deformity.

Introduction: The issue of prognosis in limb length discrepancy in children affected by congenital abnormality remains a subject of concern. Therapeutic strategy must take length prediction into account, to adapt equalization techniques and the timing of treatment. Initial prognosis, however, may need revising after completion of one or several surgical interventions on the pathologic limb.
