Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe potential working portals positioned directly over the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon and assess their safety in relation to the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve (DBUN).
Methods: A descriptive anatomical study was conducted on 15 fresh human cadaver upper limbs. Five distinct portals over the ECU were examined, and the shortest distances from these portals to the DBUN were measured.
Background: Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) can be difficult to manage in paediatric patients, and there are few licensed treatments available for this age group. Dupilumab is approved for the treatment of AD in children older than 6 months.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in a real-world cohort of paediatric patients with AD in Spain.
Injuries of the volar ligaments of the wrist are not uncommon, but their arthroscopic treatment presents a significant challenge. The objective of this paper is to introduce a technique for reattaching (in acute injuries) or reinforcing (in chronic injuries) various volar wrist ligaments to the bone, using standard wrist arthroscopic dorsal and volar portals. There are three common steps for all the arthroscopic volar capsuloligamentous reattachments or reinforcements Step 1 - Volar Portal Establishment: volar radial, volar ulnar and volar central portals are used depending on which structure needs to be reattached or reinforced.

This study aims to describe the anatomical pattern of the perforator arteries originating from the proper digital artery in fresh cadaveric triphalangeal digits and to use this pattern as a point of reference for performing these flaps.
Material And Method: We performed a descriptive anatomical study on 28 fresh cadaveric hands (14 male, 14 female; 10 right hands, 18 left hands) after injecting the arterial system with latex.
Objectives: The purpose of this agreement was to establish evidence-based consensus statements on imaging of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries by an expert group using the Delphi technique.
Methods: Nineteen hand surgeons developed a preliminary list of questions on DRUJ instability and TFCC injuries. Radiologists created statements based on the literature and the authors' clinical experience.
