The Outcomes of 2,154 Endoscopic Trigger Finger Releases.

Background: Trigger finger is one of the most frequent causes of hand pain and disability. Recently, an endoscopic trigger finger release technique was developed, but outcomes have rarely been reported. Here, we present the outcomes of 2154 endoscopic trigger finger release procedures in a single center.

Flexor Tenosynovial Fistula as a Complication after Endoscopic Trigger Finger Release: A Case Report.

Objective: We report a rare case of flexor tenosynovial fistula secondary to endoscopic release of the A1 pulley for treatment of trigger finger.

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old woman underwent endoscopic release of the A1 pulleys of her left ring and right middle fingers. Nine days after surgery, the wound at the base of the proximal phalanx of the ring finger (distal portal) remained open and a clear liquid discharge was seen.

A case report of multi-compartmental lipoma of the hand.

This report shows a multi-compartmental lipoma that occupied a vast area of the hand volar compartment, the distal aspect of the Parona's space and infiltrated the dorsal compartment between the IV and V metacarpal bones. The mass was entirely removed through a dorsal approach, minimizing risks of neurovascular and tendinous lesions.

Arthroscopic Management of Scaphoid-Trapezium-Trapezoid Joint Arthritis.

Scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid (STT) joint arthritis is a common condition consisting of pain on the radial side of the wrist and base of the thumb, swelling, and tenderness over the STT joint. Common symptoms are loss of grip strength and thumb function. There are several treatments, from symptomatic conservative treatment to surgical solutions, such as arthrodesis, arthroplasties, and prosthesis implant.

The New Smartphone Application for Wrist Rehabilitation.

Background: The rehabilitation after wrist surgery is extremely important. An instructed therapy in hospital is widely practiced. However, a dependent aging society and rush life style in younger generation have precluded patients to access to the frequent formal therapy.

Minimally invasive procedure for the stabilization of the painful "prearthritic" carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.

The painful thumb carpometacarpal joint without arthritic changes with joint laxity is a common condition mainly affecting the female population in their early decades. Despite this, there is a lack of literature on the available treatment options. In the existing literature ligament reconstruction and extension osteotomy have both been described.

Single portal endoscopic treatment for chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm is an unusual disease not commonly found in the daily practice of a hand surgeon. This condition is quite rare in the general population but occurs more frequently among musicians and athletes, with the highest incidence found in professional motorcycle drivers. It is mainly because of a critical augmentation of the extracellular pressure of the forearm compartments.

Arthroscopic-assisted arthrodesis of the trapeziometacarpal joint.

Arthroscopic-assisted surgery of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint has been described before for the treatment of TMC joint arthritis including, debridement, partial or total trapezectomy, and interpositional arthroplasty, but its use for fusion is not reported. TMC joint arthroscopy is a novel technique for arthrodesis which aims to maintain joint stability and strength. We have successfully used this technique to perform fusion of the TMC joint.

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release: our experience with 12,702 cases.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is still today the most common nerve entrapment syndrome at the level of the upper extremity. When surgery is indicated, the surgical treatment of choice is the opening of the retinaculum. The authors describe their experience on 12,702 carpal tunnel decompressions, by the endoscopic procedure in a period of 14 years, outlining the indications, post-operative treatment, complications and results.

Long-term follow-up of a malunited, isolated fracture of the capitate in a 6-year-old boy.

A 6-year-old boy with an isolated fracture of the capitate was presented. First radiograghs at our clinic revealed an oblique fracture with a displacement of 5 mm on the lateral view, which we successfully treated with immobilization. When complete union was recognized in the radiographs, the capitate had a deformity consisting of a large prominence on the palmar aspect.
