Long-Term Patient-Reported Outcomes following Proximal Row Carpectomy.

 Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a procedure used for pain relief from arthrosis that preserves some degree of range of motion (ROM). Dorsal capsular interposition (DCI) is an option for cases where some chondral loss of the capitate is present.  The aim of this study is to assess what factors influence long-term patient-reported outcomes following PRC and specifically to evaluate the role of DCI.

Binary Soong grading as a predictor for flexor pollicis longus tendon rupture after distal radial fracture fixation: a retrospective study.

This retrospective cohort study evaluates the concordance between Soong grades classified from radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans and whether a Soong grade ≥1 is associated with flexor pollicis longus (FPL) injury and reoperation incidence. We included 181 patients with 185 dorsally displaced distal radial fractures treated with anterior locking plates. For the analysis of binary Soong grades, grade 0 was compared with grades 1 and 2.

Factors Associated With Episode of Care Adverse Events After Humerus Nonunion Repair.

Background: Humeral nonunions have devastating negative effects on patients' upper extremity function and health-related quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify factors independently associated with 30-day complication, hospital readmission, and reoperation after surgical treatment of humeral nonunions.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database by querying the codes for patients who underwent humeral nonunion repair from 2011 to 2020.
