The Simultaneous Compression of the Median and Ulnar Nerves by Lipoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Entrapment syndromes in the hand are very common and usually idiopathic. However, it can be the expression of nerve compression by a nearby structure or tumor. Space-occupying lesions are widely reported as a cause of median or ulnar nerve compression in the wrist.

Experience with the distally based sural flap: a review of 25 cases.

The reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the distal areas of the lower extremity remains a challenge. The distally based sural neurocutaneous flap based on the sural nerve and the superficial sural artery has been used for skin defect reconstruction of the distal third of the leg, the hindfoot, ankle, and heel. We describe our experience and evaluate the reliability of this surgical technique.

Nonunion of the scaphoid treated by anterior vascularized bone graft: a review of 26 cases.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of anterior vascularized bone graft in the treatment of primitive nonunion of the scaphoid.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 26 scaphoid nonunion cases treated by this technique between 2004 and 2009. The mean age was 38 years.

Glomus tumour of fingertip: report of eight cases and literature review.

Glomus tumour is a rare, benign, soft-tissue tumour. Eight patients with eight histologically confirmed glomus tumours have been operated within the past 10 years. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 40 years.

Unusual combined fracture dislocation of the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints: a case report and review of the literature.

Volar perilunate fracture dislocation is an extremely rare carpal injury, but associated with metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation of both the ipsilateral index and middle finger has never been reported. We report one case of a 28-year-old man following a high-energy trauma. After performing closed reduction of the metacarpophalangeal joint injury, open reduction of the wrist injury through volar approach was done, and a K-wire fixation was used to stabilize the scaphoid fracture and lunotriquetral joint.

Operative management of nonunion scaphoid fracture in children: a case report and literature review.

Scaphoid fractures are uncommon in children, but if maltreated, they can result in nonunion. The authors report a case of left scaphoid nonunion in an 11-year-old boy. The operative management of this pseudarthrosis was performed (K-wire fixation and bone grafting of scaphoid).

[Soft tissue chondroma of the thumb. A case report].

Background: Soft-tissue chondroma is a rare and benign cartilaginous tumour often localised in the extremities. The thumb is very rarely affected.

Aim: We report a new case typical for this lesion with review of literature.

Upper limb compartment syndrome after an adder bite: a case report.

Compartment syndrome after an adder bite is extremely rare, whose effects are only secondary to the cytotoxic and hemorrhagic effects of venom. Here we reported a case of compartment syndrome in the upper limb following an adder bite in the thenar eminence. Elevated compartment pressure was documented and immediate surgical fasciotomy was practiced.

Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus in youth: two case reports.

Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus in youth is an extremely rare injury. Three cases have been reported in the literature to date. We describe two cases, aged 15 and 14 years, both of whom were boys.
