Design and fabrication of the radial and ulnar wrist articulating control orthoses.

Study Design: Case series.

Introduction: Pain and injury at the radial and ulnar aspects of the wrist due to overuse or trauma are commonly treated in hand therapy clinics.

Purpose Of Study: Describe two orthoses that allow targeted rest and recovery of involved anatomical structure(s) while preserving function of surrounding uninvolved structures in patients who have sustained overuse or traumatic injury at the radial or ulnar aspect of the wrist.

Partial Wrist Denervation for Idiopathic Dorsal Wrist Pain in an Active Duty Military Population.

Purpose: Treating dorsal wrist pain of unknown etiology provides a challenge to the most experienced hand surgeon. Therefore, we conducted a study aimed to determine outcomes of patients undergoing a posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) or anterior/posterior interosseous nerve (AIN/PIN) neurectomy for wrist pain without a known cause, in patients who responded to preoperative injection.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of all active duty patients undergoing isolated PIN or AIN/PIN neurectomy for idiopathic dorsal wrist pain with a documented response to preoperative injection between December 2011 and April 2017.
