Risks of Reoperation in Surgically Treated Fractures of the Proximal Phalanx.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors and the rate of reoperation after closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) of isolated closed single-digit proximal phalanx fractures.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted for patients who underwent CRPP of non-thumb closed proximal phalanx fractures between 2010 and 2020 at two level-I trauma centers and two community teaching hospitals. Demographics, fracture, and treatment characteristics were collected.

The Association Between Depression and Antidepressant Use and Outcomes After Operative Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures at 1 Year.

Purpose: Depression has been linked to inferior clinical outcomes among upper extremity patients. It often is challenging to distinguish the symptoms of depression, symptoms of injury, and the interaction between these 2 entities after a patient has been injured. We aimed to study the differences in clinical outcomes after surgical fixation of distal radius fractures between patients with and without a documented history and treatment for depression.
