[Hand infections. Part 1: General and superficial hand infections].

This review article will cover both general aspects of hand infections and the most common superficial hand infections. Hand and wrist infections are commonly encountered in clinical practice both by the generalist orthopaedic surgeon and the hand surgeon. Clinically, they appear as a spectrum, from easy to resolve superficial infections, to life and limb threatening deep infections (for example, necrotizing fasciitis).

[Reconstruction of painful neuroma of superficial branch of radial nerve after first dorsal compartment release: presentation of two cases].

Introduction: nerve lesions are potentially catastrophic injuries. They can cause motor loss, severe pain and neuroma formation. The superficial branch of the radial nerve is at risk during first dorsal compartment release, its injury can cause neuroma formation.

Total Elbow Arthroplasty and Antegrade Posterior Interosseous Flap for Infected Posttraumatic Arthritis with an Active Fistula. A Rationale for Comprehensive Treatment. Case Report.

The indication for total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) for primary and posttraumatic elbow arthritis has increased, however, its indication after infection remains elusive. Wound closure about the elbow increases the challenge of treating a previously infected elbow, often necessitating soft tissue coverage with local or regional flaps. We present a 75-year-old male patient with an elbow infection following a failed complex intraarticular fracture open reduction and internal fixation of the distal humerus.
