Consolidation rate in ulnar shortening osteotomy with the APTUS Wrist plate.

Introduction: Ulnocarpal impaction syndrome causes pain on the ulnar side of the wrist. Various surgical techniques have been described. Ulnar shortening osteotomy is now a standard treatment.

Lateral elbow ligament reconstruction for posterolateral rotatory instability: 10 years follow-up in 32 patients.

Background: Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most frequent form of both acute and chronic elbow instability. It is due to mechanical incompetence of the lateral collateral ligament. O'Driscoll et al described treatment of this instability by autologous reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament.

Total arthrodesis for non-rheumatoid wrists: Outcomes at 5 and 20years of follow-up.

Introduction: Total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) aims to obtain a painless wrist with a strong grip. Its main disadvantage is compromised mobility and for many authors it remains a rescue intervention. However, after one or more palliative interventions, TWA confers poorer results.

Comparison of results of arthroscopic arthrolysis between traumatic and degenerative elbow stiffness.

Introduction: Elbow stiffness significantly affects the patient's quality of life. This joint must have at least 30°/130° extension/flexion and 50°/50° pronation/supination to function normally according to Morrey.

Hypothesis: The objective of this study was to evaluate functional outcome of arthroscopic arthrolysis by comparing stiffness of post-traumatic and degenerative origin.

Terrible triad injury of the elbow: a historical perspective.

Purpose: The aims of this study are to summarize (1) the history of terrible triad injury (TTi) treatment and (2) the clinical and biomechanical data that engendered its evolution.

Methods: A literature search was performed using five electronic databases. Results were discussed as a chronologic review of the relevant literature between 1920 and 2022.

Comparison of subjective outcomes of Darrach and Sauvé-Kapandji procedures at a minimum 2 years' follow-up.

Introduction: In distal radioulnar joint pathology, the literature regularly recommends reserving the Sauvé-Kapandji (SK) procedure to young patients and heavy manual workers, and the Darrach (D) procedure to older patients and rheumatic wrists. However, the SK procedure is more technically demanding and requires more proximal resection of the ulna, with greater risk of instability in the ulnar stump. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the SK procedure really does show superiority.

Percutaneous Reconstruction of the Medial Patello-Femoral Ligament Using Dynamic Gracilis Tendon Transfer.

Background: Many techniques have been described for reconstructing the medial patello-femoral ligament (MPFL), using a variety of transplants and fixation methods to treat patello-femoral dislocation. The main challenge with static transfers is to position the femoral fixation point at the site that best restores MPFL anisometry. The objective of this cadaveric study was to propose a version of the initially described dynamic gracilis transfer technique that can be performed percutaneously.

Median nerve entrapment syndrome in the elbow and proximal forearm. Anatomic causes and results for a 55-case surgical series at a mean 7years' follow-up.

Background: Proximal median nerve (MN) neuropathy represents 1% of upper-limb compressive neuropathies. The literature reports two clinical presentations, depending on the location of the entrapment: pronator teres (PT), and anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) syndrome.

Hypothesis: There is no correlation between symptoms and location of proximal compressive structures on the MN trunk or AIN.
