Treatment of advanced trigger finger by ulnar superficialis slip resection: Long-term outcome and predictive factors for poor prognosis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of ulnar superficialis slip resection and to determine predictive factors for poor prognosis in patients with advanced trigger finger. Over a 5-year-period, 55 patients (58 fingers) were included. After surgery, two groups were identified: group 1, with complete extension or <10° extension deficit in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint (n = 27 fingers/27 patients); and group 2, with ≥10° residual PIP extension deficit (n = 31 fingers/28 patients).

Radioscapholunate fusion for posttraumatic osteoarthritis with consecutive excision of the distal scaphoid and the triquetrum: A comparative study.

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes after radioscapholunate (RSL) fusion for posttraumatic osteoarthritis. This was a retrospective, dual-center study of all patients who underwent RSL fusion between 1995 and 2015 for posttraumatic radiocarpal osteoarthritis. Patients were assessed at the final review to determine clinical (pain, wrist range of motion and strength), self-reported (QuickDASH, PRWE and MWS scores) and radiological (degenerative osteoarthritis in the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) or midcarpal joint and radiocarpal fusion) outcomes.

Radioscapholunate Fusion for Radiocarpal Osteoarthritis: Prognostic Factors of Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes.

 Radioscapholunate (RSL) fusion is a surgical option to manage radiocarpal osteoarthritis. Many authors upgrade the procedure by adding distal scaphoid excision with or without excision of the triquetrum. Our objective was to identify the prognostic factors for good clinical and radiographic outcomes of RSL arthrodesis.

Partial medial second toe pulp free flap and dermal substitute with skin graft for salvage reconstruction of a complete skin envelope degloving of the small finger.

Skin envelope degloving of fingers are rare injuries that require rapid care and surgical treatment. Mostly caused by ring finger injuries, these traumas include bone, tendon and neurovascular pedicle damage. The authors present an unusual case of finger degloving limited exclusively to the skin envelope, without skeletal, tendinous or vascular lesion.

Clinical and radiological outcomes following radioscapholunate fusion.

Introduction: Radioscapholunate (RSL) fusion is typically performed following wrist trauma. It addresses the pain caused by radiocarpal osteoarthritis but reduces the wrist's mobility. The objective of this study was to determine the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of this procedure.
