Article Synopsis
- Some doctors don’t agree on the best way to treat scaphoid nonunion, which is when a specific wrist bone doesn’t heal properly.
- This review looked at many studies to see if a procedure called wrist arthroscopy could help fix this problem.
- The findings showed that using wrist arthroscopy is generally successful, leading to good healing with few problems, but more research is needed to understand it better.
Objectives: This study aims to report our experience with Clostridium Histolyticum collagenase (CCH) to support the importance of its clinical use and assess its clinical efficacy, complications, and recurrences.
Methods: This prospective observational study of 66 patients with a 2-year follow-up. Patients with an extension lag major of 20° at the metacarpophalangeal joint (MPJ) and/or proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) were included.
Article Synopsis
- A study looked into whether a type of surgery called lateral soft tissue release (LSTR) helps with a foot problem called hallux valgus (bunions).
- The researchers collected results from 16 different studies and found that doing LSTR didn’t change how often bunions returned or the overall health outcomes for patients after surgery.
- The conclusion was that adding LSTR to the surgery didn’t make any difference in reducing bunions or improving recovery after about 4 years.
The current literature on the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection provides controversial evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of MLR, NLR, PVR, and PLR. Therefore, this critical literature search and meta-analysis was aimed to summarize the diagnostic accuracy of these biomarkers for the diagnosis of hip and knee prosthetic infection. According to the PRISMA flowchart, we searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science, for studies on these ratios for diagnosing PJI.

The surgical site's application of antiseptic solutions to eliminate contaminating bacteria and eradicate the bacterial biofilm has been increasing over time. Even though it has been proven that combining antimicrobials could enhance their activities and help overcome acquired microbial resistance related to the topical use of antibiotics, the toxicity of integrated solutions is not well described.

Methods: In this prospective monocentric study, we enrolled 119 patients treated with Pyrocardan® for TMCJ osteoarthritis and followed up at a minimum of four years.
Scapholunate advanced collapse collapse (SLAC) is a challenging topic for hand surgeons. The adaptative proximal scaphoid implant (APSI) (Bioprofile-Tornier) is a pyrocarbon ovoid shaped interpositional implant, that allows adaptive mobility during motion. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of APSI implants and possible complications.
