Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of capitate fractures, with a cohort of 23 patients identified from a larger group suffering wrist pain, and a follow-up conducted after an average of 16 years.
- - Out of the 16 eligible patients, the majority had healed capitate fractures with one case showing signs of osteoarthritis, although it did not cause any symptoms; none showed signs of avascular necrosis.
- - Functional assessments revealed minimal impairments, with patients reporting good hand function, normal wrist movement, and strength, indicating a low risk of developing posttraumatic arthritis in the surrounding joints.
Background: Symptomatic osteoarthritis of the basal joint of the thumb (trapeziometacarpal joint) is a common disabling condition mainly affecting women. It is frequently treated with complete removal of the trapezium with or without soft-tissue interposition. There is limited evidence about whether removal of the trapezium affects stability of the wrist joint and increases the risk of developing wrist osteoarthritis.

Objective: To describe patient-reported outcome and the association with bone integrity, fracture severity and future fracture risk among young and older men with distal radius fracture.
Methods: This prospective study includes 133 men with acute distal radius fracture, mean age 54 (range 21-88), who were followed for 12 months.
Background: It is unclear whether the outcomes differ after different Horne and Tanzer types of olecranon fractures.
Materials And Methods: We evaluated 40 men and 55 women with isolated olecranon fractures, journals and radiographs from fracture event. The fractures were classified according to Horne and Tanzer.
Magnetic resonance (MR) is the most important imaging technique to assess intra-articular pathology of the wrist. Among various MR imaging protocols, the diagnostic performance of indirect MR arthrography needs further investigation. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of pre- and postcontrast, 3 T indirect MR arthrography in the diagnosis of scapholunate intrinsic ligament (SLIL) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries, using wrist arthroscopy as reference standard.
