Teaching of distal radius shortening osteotomy: three-dimensional procedural simulator versus bone procedural simulator.

In order to facilitate the learning of distal radius shortening osteotomy by junior surgeons, the main assumption was that using a three-dimensional procedural simulator was better than a bone procedural simulator. After viewing a video, ten junior surgeons performed a distal radius shortening osteotomy: five with a bone procedural simulator (Group 1) and five with a three-dimensional procedural simulator (Group 2). All subsequently performed the same surgery on fresh cadaveric bones.

The minimally invasive flexor carpi radialis approach: a new perspective for distal radius fractures.

The minimally invasive flexor carpi radialis approach can be used for volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures. After 15-mm incision on the lateral aspect of the FCR tendon and all structures but the radial artery are reclined ulnarly, a plate is inserted under the pronator quadratus just proximal to the "watershed line." The distal epiphyseal screws are put in place, and the proximal part of the plate is exposed by flexion of the wrist to put in place the proximal screws.

Inside-out method to develop volar arthroscopic portals of the wrist in cadaver specimens.

Three direct volar portals for wrist arthroscopy have been described previously: two radiocarpal and one midcarpal. The aim of this study was to systematically describe four volar arthroscopic portals through minimally invasive incisions using an inside-out approach from known dorsal portals. Four volar arthroscopic wrist portals were studied on six hand specimens using an inside-out technique: a radial radiocarpal approach (RRCA), an ulnar radiocarpal approach (URCA), a radial midcarpal approach (RMCA) and an ulnar midcarpal approach (UMCA).

Metacarpophalangeal joint arthroscopy in the fingers other than the thumb: Retrospective comparison of horizontal versus vertical traction.

The goal of this study was to compare the advantages and disadvantages of horizontal versus vertical traction by reviewing a small series of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint arthroscopy in the fingers other than the thumb. Our series included eight patients operated with traction placed along the axis of the operated finger. In four cases, traction was applied horizontally and in the other four, it was applied vertically.
