A Web-Based Mind-Body Intervention to Improve Resilience Among Patients With Nontraumatic Painful Upper-Extremity Conditions and Comorbid Risky Substance Use: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Nontraumatic painful upper-extremity conditions (NPUCs) are largely age-related degenerations that affect the majority of adults. Most patients with NPUCs do not seek medical care and adjust on their own. Among those who do seek care, approximately 20% report risky substance use, defined as a consumption pattern that increases the risk of harm to physical or psychosocial health.

Management of isolated volar lunate facet fractures of the distal radius.

Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures treated globally. Consideration of the mechanism of injury and careful radiographic assessment contributes to appropriate management of these injuries in isolation or jointly with other fractures or injuries affecting the wrist joint. Treatment options can range from non-operative management to a variety of fixation techniques.

The "Bag of Bones" Treatment of Comminuted Intra-articular Distal Humerus Fractures in the Elderly.

Background: Extensively comminuted intra-articular distal humerus fractures in the elderly present a challenging therapeutic dilemma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the results of nonoperative treatment of these fractures in a select subset of patients.

Methods: Patients treated with nonoperative management for a comminuted intra-articular distal humerus fracture between 2007 and 2018 were reviewed.
