Aim: Dynavisc® is a novel surgical product made of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) designed to reduce post-surgical adhesions in tendons surgery. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed to investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of the Dynavisc® gel in reducing post-surgical adhesions after flexor tenolysis in zone 2.
Material Of Study: Thirty-one patients suffering from stiff finger after flexor tendon repairs in zone 2 treated with standard release with (18 Dynavisc®-treated group) or without (13 controls) anti-adhesion gel application into the flexor tendon sheath and around the site of the tenolysis, were collected in five different hand surgery units.
Background: Although isolated fractures of the ulnar shaft are considered common and relatively benign injuries, numerous complications can arise especially in the context of suboptimal care pathways. For pediatric patients, however, there is no single indication of the surgical approach. In the context of the management of these complications, it is known that the vascularized fibular graft has numerous advantages and indications in the treatment of recurrent pseudarthrosis.

- * Eight shape-modified flaps were used in surgeries between 2014 and 2018, and outcomes were measured in terms of surgical technique, scar quality, and function using established scoring systems.
- * Follow-up after an average of 39 months showed no serious complications, indicating the technique's reliability and acceptable functional and aesthetic results, suggesting it should be more widely adopted among hand surgeons.
Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common challenge in orthopaedic trauma care, yet for those fractures that are treated nonoperatively, strong evidence to guide cast treatment is still lacking.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of below elbow cast (BEC) and above elbow cast (AEC) in maintaining reduction of manipulated DRFs.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, monocentric, randomized, parallel-group, open label, blinded, noninferiority trial comparing the efficacy of BEC and AEC in the nonoperative treatment of DRFs.
Article Synopsis
- Camptodactyly is a condition with various clinical manifestations and no clear consensus on its causes or optimal treatments; conservative management is usually preferred, but surgery may be an option for severe cases.
- A study analyzed the outcomes of 59 pediatric patients who underwent the Malek cutaneous approach and stepwise release surgery for congenital camptodactyly that didn't respond to conservative treatment, documenting significant improvements in flexion contractures post-surgery and no reported infections.
- After an average follow-up period of 6 years, the results showed a high percentage of patients rated as having excellent to fair outcomes based on the Siegert classification for proximal interphalangeal joint extension deficits.
