LIPOPULP. The impact of fat grafting on pulp sensitivity in fingertip injuries: A retrospective study of seven patients.

Objective: This study analyzes the impact of fat grafting on pulp sensitivity disorders in patients who experienced fingertip injuries and developed cold intolerance and hyperesthesia.

Material/method: Patients over 10 years old were evaluated using the two-point discriminant score (2PDS), the monofilament test, and the McCabe Cold Sensitivity Severity Scale (CSS) before and after surgery at 3, 6, and 12 months. Other evaluations included the Quick Dash scale (Q-dash), the aesthetics and pain improvement, and patient satisfaction.

Sensitivity and specificity of the sensory collapse test for nerve entrapment syndrome in the upper extremity.

Objectives: Several prospective blinded studies have found poorer sensitivity for the sensory collapse test than reported by Susan E Mackinnon's team. However, the blinded examiner had no knowledge of the patient's clinical presentation, or even of the purpose of the test. In these conditions, it seems difficult to perform the sensory collapse test correctly.

Vascularized hemi-hamate graft: Anatomic description of a novel pedicled osteo-chondro-ligamentous flap for proximal scaphoid reconstruction.

Scaphoid proximal pole destruction remains a surgical challenge owing to its high propensity for nonunion and osteonecrosis. The hemi-hamate graft has shown promising results in addressing this issue. However, long-term results of non-vascularized composite grafts remain uncertain.

Two-stage surgery for large sacrococcygeal chordomas: How I do it.

Sacrococcygeal chordoma is a malignant, slow-growing, and locally aggressive bone tumor. A wide surgical margin is recommended to prevent local recurrence and metastasis. This disease tends to cause massive defects when rectal resection and sacrectomy are required.
