Surgical management of vascular malformations in the hand and wrist.

The management of hand and wrist vascular malformations is complex owing to their impact on function and appearance. We present a case and discuss the treatment options based on our experience in 56 patients. V.

Feasibility of a fascial flap to avoid anterior transposition of unstable Ulnar nerve: A cadaver study.

Background: Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is the second most frequent site of nerve compression in the upper limb. Upon release, anteposition of the nerve may be necessary to avoid dislocation of the latter when unstable. Numerous techniques are described in the literature (subcutaneous transposition, intramuscular transposition, subfascial transposition, medial epicondylectomy …), none of which is without complications.

Feasibility of Homodigital Flexor Digitorum Superficialis transposition, a new technique for A2-C1 pulleys reconstruction: A kinematic cadaver study.

Introduction: Homodigital flexor digitorum superficialis transposition (HFT) is proposed as a new technique for A2-C1 pulley reconstruction. Flexor digitorum superficialis is transposed on the proximal phalanx and inserted on the pulley rims, crossing over flexor digitorum profundus and acting as a pulley.

Materials And Methods: The kinematic feasibility was investigated in a cadaveric bowstring model (after A2 and C1 pulley removal) on 22 fingers (thumb excluded).
