Long-term outcome of fibula flaps in complex limb reconstruction compared to alternative procedures, a median follow up of 41 months.

Introduction: Complex open long bone fractures present a multidisciplinary surgical challenge. Various treatment options are discussed with no consensus. Fibula flaps (FF) are frequently used in maxillofacial surgery, however their use in limb injuries is less common.

Outcomes of Arthrodesis of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint of the Thumb for Sequelae of Collateral Ligament Injuries: A Series of 18 Cases with 6-Year Follow-Up.

Untreated or insufficiently treated collateral ligament injuries of the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint can lead to instability or even osteoarthritis. Arthrodesis is one of the treatment options available for the treatment of the sequelae of collateral ligament injuries. The objective of our study was to evaluate the radiological, clinical and functional outcomes of MP joint arthrodesis performed for sequelae of collateral ligament injuries.

Comparison of proximal row carpectomy with RCPI® versus proximal row carpectomy with Eaton's capsular interposition in the management of advanced wrist osteoarthritis.

Introduction: Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is one of the recommended techniques for managing wrist osteoarthritis, it implies the integrity of the lunate fossa of the radius and the proximal pole of the capitate. If PRC is not possible, it is suggested to consider combining it with a capsule interposition (such as Eaton's flap) or opting for intra- or radiocarpal arthrodesis. Another alternative is to combine capitate resurfacing with a pyrocarbon implant (RCPi®).

Ligamentoplasty in scapholunate instability: short-term results of the "all dorsal scapholunate repair" technique.

Injury to the scapholunate complex is the cause of scapholunate instability which can lead to radiocarpal and medio-carpal osteoarthritis. Several ligamentoplasty techniques have been reported for the treatment of chronic scapholunate instability before the osteoarthritis stage. The objective of this study was to assess the short-term results of an "all dorsal scapholunate repair" ligamentoplasty.

Clinical and functional outcomes of surgical treatment of grade III ulnar collateral ligament injuries of thumb metacarpophalangeal joint.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of three surgical techniques (subperiosteal suture, bone anchor and direct repair) for the management of severe acute ulnar collateral ligament injuries of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint with a minimum of 1 year follow-up.

Material And Methods: Between 2015 and 2020, 230 collateral ligament injuries required surgical treatment in our department. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, 100 were included in the study.
