Osteoid Osteoma of the Proximal Phalanx of the Great Toe in a 13-Year-Old Female Patient.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign osteoblastic bone tumor typically involving the diaphysis or metaphysis in long tubular bones. OO in phalanges of the great toe has been rarely reported, and it is often challenging to differentiate with subacute osteomyelitis, bone abscess, or osteoblastoma. This case report describes an uncommon case of a 13-year-old female patient with subperiosteal OO in the proximal phalanx of the great toe.

The first case report of thorn-induced Alternaria alternata infection of the hand in an immunocompetent host.

Background: Fungal infection secondary to a penetrating plant thorn injury in upper extremities is infrequently reported especially in immunocompetent hosts. Alternaria is a dematicaceous hyphomycete, commonly found in decay and plant pathogens, and Alternaria alternata has been regarded as the most frequent species among more than 400 s of its species. This case is the first report of thorn-induced Alternaria alternata infection of the hand in an immunocompetent host.

Early and Delayed Postoperative Rehabilitation after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Comparative Study of Clinical Outcomes.

Background: The duration of immobilization after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and the optimal time to commence rehabilitation are still the subject of ongoing debates. This study was undertaken to evaluate the functional outcome and rotator cuff healing status after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by comparing early and delayed rehabilitation.

Methods: Totally, 76 patients with small, medium, and large sized rotator cuff tears underwent arthroscopic repair using the suture-bridge technique.

Associations between hand function and electrophysiological measurements in hand osteoarthritis patients of different ages with or without carpal tunnel syndrome.

Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative disease that most frequently involves the hand. The objective was to compare clinical functional outcome measures including hand grip, pinch strength, and dexterity with various electrophysiological measures in patients of different ages with hand osteoarthritis with or without the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Patients with hand osteoarthritis (208 patients, 404 hands) who underwent hand-function tests and motor and sensory nerve conduction studies (NCS) between June 2015 and June 2016 were enrolled.

Dual plate for comminuted proximal humerus fractures.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate radiological, clinical results and complication rates of dual plate fixation for severe metaphyseal comminuted fracture of proximal humerus. 21 patients who have proximal humerus fractures with impaired posteromedial buttress were enrolled. Fractures were treated with dual plate technique using Proximal Humeral Locking plate and Variable Angle Plate.

Reverse digital artery cross-finger flap for reconstruction of failed finger replantation.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the reverse digital artery cross-finger flap (RDAC flap) in the treatment of failed finger replantation.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent modified RDAC flap reconstructions for failed finger replantation and assessed their outcomes. Of the patients who underwent soft tissue reconstructions for finger injuries between March 2011 and February 2015, we enrolled 11 patients in whom RDAC flap reconstruction procedures were performed to treat the failed replantations.

Serial stab incision venous drainage technique for simple artery-only fingertip replantation.

Purpose: Fingertip replantation is a challenging and technically demanding procedure. A variety of venous drainage techniques have been attempted for successful fingertip replantation. We present a new venous drainage technique, known as serial multifocal incision for fingertip replantation.

Wiring technique for lesser trochanter fixation in proximal IM nailing of unstable intertrochanteric fractures: A modified candy-package wiring technique.
