Article Synopsis
- Non-dissociative carpal instability (CIND) is linked to the destabilization of the scapho-trapezial-trapezoidal (STT) ligament complex, which can cause significant functional impairment.
- In a study involving cadaver arms, researchers performed scaphoid pole resections and trapeziectomies, using CT scans to measure the movement of wrist bones in various positions.
- Results indicated that total trapeziectomy and distal scaphoid pole resection led to noticeable dissociation between the proximal and distal carpal rows, particularly when the fist was clenched, confirming that these procedures contribute to CIND without causing instability in the carpal rows themselves.
Comparing treatment of proximal phalangeal fractures with intramedullary screws versus plating.

Purpose: Phalangeal fractures are the most common injuries in humans and account for approximately 10% of all fractures. With plate fixation, anatomic reduction is achievable in most cases, but extension lag is seen in up to 67%. Intramedullary headless screw offers treatment of unstable proximal phalangeal fractures using a minimally invasive procedure with very few complications.

Introduction: Reconstruction of the scapho-lunate (SL) ligament is still challenging. Many different techniques, such as capsulodesis, tendon graft and bone-ligament-bone graft have been described to stabilize reducible SL dissociation. If primary ligament repair alone is not possible, an additional stabilizer is needed to achieve scapho-lunate stability.

September 2011
Complications while removing implants are quite common. In rare cases screw shanks must be left in situ. We present a case of a 38-year-old patient who was treated using a palmar locking plate for a distal radius fracture.
