Hook nail deformity.

Hook-nail deformity is frequently seen after a fingertip amputation, whether or not flap reconstruction has been done. It is more frequent if the bony support is missing. The deformity results in esthetic and functional impairment which can lead to complete finger amputation.

Complex abdominal wall reconstruction after oncologic resection in a sequalae of giant omphalocele: A case report.

Introduction: Trauma injuries and oncologic resection are common aetiologies of complex abdominal wall defect. Reconstruction of abdominal wall is an everlasting question for general, paediatric and reconstructive surgeons. The plethora of techniques, bioprosthetic and engineered tissues offer countless possibilities.

Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of a superficial branch of the ulnar artery: A case report.

Introduction: Hand and Upper limb pseudoaneurysms are uncommon and misdiagnosed. The delayed diagnostic and treatment lead to severe vascular and nerve complications. Many mechanisms are involved like acute injury, chronic micro traumatism of the hand, with specific clinic and para clinic signs.

Adaptive Proximal Scaphoid Implant: Indications and Long-Term Results.

 This study aims to define the indications of APSI and to evaluate the long-term results.  This is a monocentric study including patients that underwent an arthroplasty of the scaphoid proximal pole using an APSI between 1994 and 2010. Patients were assessed using autoquestionnaires and measuring ranges of motion, key pinch, and grip strength.

Total Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Functional Study of 28 MOOVIS Prostheses.

Background: Trapeziometacarpal prostheses have been used for more than 50 years in the treatment of first carpometacarpal joint arthritis. Even though this technique is more expensive than trapeziectomy, it has many advantages such as faster convalescence with better patient comfort and improved strength and range of motion. The aim of this study was to report the early functional results of a patient cohort treated with a dual mobility thumb carpometacarpal joint prosthesis.

Surgical treatment of secondary lymphedema of the upper limb by stepped microsurgical lymphaticovenous anastomoses.

Objective: The incidence of lymphedema following treatment for breast cancer ranges between 10 and 50% after complete axillary dissection and gives rise to severe functional discomfort in patients. Results of lymphaticovenous anastomoses (LVA) in surgical treatment of lymphedema appear to be favorable. However, the available literature on this topic is scarce, often with short follow-up times.
