Rare Case of a Cutaneous Fingertip Schwannoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Background: Soft tissue masses of the hand are common and mostly benign, including ganglion cysts, glomus tumors, lipomas, and giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath. Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors but are rarely found on the distal parts of the digits. The authors present a case of a schwannoma located at the tip of the finger.

Hand Tumors: An Individual Surgeon's Retrospective Review.

Background: Tumors of the hand are encountered frequently and represent a variety of pathologic diagnoses, both benign and malignant. Even within a single pathologic type, presentation can vary. This study reviews hand tumors encountered by an individual surgeon and described presenting features to better aid in clinical decision making.

Pediatric Replantation after Traumatic Amputation at the Distal Forearm: Rehabilitation Protocol and Outcomes.

Major limb replantation is a formidable task, especially in the pediatric setting. While meticulous microsurgical technique is required in the operating room, the authors aim to highlight the importance of postoperative rehabilitation therapy for optimal function. We highlight the case of a 12-year-old boy who suffered complete traumatic amputation through the distal left forearm.

Treating Wounds With an Avascular Component With a Dermal Regenerative Template.

Introduction: Partially avascular wounds pose a challenge to wound care surgeons.

Objective: The authors reviewed the literature and institutional results on the use of a dermal regenerative template (DRT) over partially avascular wounds to quantify the ability of the DRT to vascularize over these wounds.

Materials And Methods: A review of the literature was performed using Ovid MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library.
