Delayed Rupture of All Digital Flexor Tendons Following Volar Locking Plate Fixation for Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report.

A 68-year-old man with a right distal radius fracture treated with volar locking plate fixation previously was unable to flex his right thumb and four fingers without experiencing any adverse event. The flexor pollicis longus was reconstructed with a tendon graft using the lengthened flexor digitorum superficialis. The flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) of the ring finger was reconstructed with a tendon graft using the palmaris longus.

Correction of Humpback Deformities in Patients With Scaphoid Nonunion Using 1,2-Intercompartmental Supraretinacular Artery Pedicled Vascularized Bone Grafting With a Dorsoradial Approach.

Purpose: Although 1,2-intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1,2-ICSRA)-based vascularized bone grafting (VBG) has gained popularity in the treatment of scaphoid nonunion, correcting humpback deformities with this technique remains challenging. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the possibility of correcting humpback deformities using a 1,2-ICSRA VBG with a dorsoradial approach.

Methods: We treated 25 patients with scaphoid nonunion using a 1,2-ICSRA VBG between January 2007 and December 2017.

Open wedge flexion osteotomy of the metacarpal neck for the avascular necrosis of the third metacarpal head: case report.

The avascular necrosis of the metacarpal head is a rare disease. Therefore, although a variety of surgical treatments were performed in the sporadically published case reports, the optimal surgical treatment is still controversial. Open wedge osteotomy of the metacarpal neck was first reported in 2002.
