Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to characterize a previously unreported ligamentous structure called the distal dorsal intermetacarpal ligament, which connects the metacarpal heads of the long fingers in the dorsal intermetacarpal spaces.
- - Twenty-five hands were dissected, revealing this ligament in every case, along with measurements taken for size and position, and analyses conducted via histology and ultrasound.
- - The results showed that this ligamentous structure stabilizes the metacarpal heads, particularly at the second and fourth spaces, by limiting excessive movement (hyperabduction).

Background: Scarring alopecia resulting from burns may be difficult to treat and involves various plastic surgery techniques such as expanded scalp flaps.
Observation: Herein, we report the case of a 19-year-old male patient who suffered burning of the scalp with scarring alopecia following an attack with a Taser(®) electrical gun. Given the extent and site of alopecia, we decided to create a prosthesis by means of scalp expansion.
