High-pressure injection injuries to the hand: A 14-year descriptive study.

Background: High-pressure injection (HPI) injury is an unusual type of injury in hand trauma, which could lead to a serious morbidity. We aimed to assess the clinical presentation, management, and outcome with HPI injury of the hand.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between 2001 and 2015 for patients with HPI injuries who were admitted to a Level 1 trauma center.

A Rare Presentation of Axial Chordoma and the Approach to Management.

BACKGROUND Chordoma is a primary bone tumor that most commonly arises in the sacrococcygeal vertebrae and the spheno-occipital areas. Chordoma is a malignant tumor that should be distinguished from benign notochordal cell tumor (BNCT) of the spine. This report is of a rare case of axial chordoma and describes the challenging approach to diagnosis and management.

Intravascular extra-digital glomus tumor of the forearm.

Intravascular glomus tumor in the forearm is very rare and usually presents with persistent pain and focal tenderness. The diagnosis of this condition can be easily missed or delayed. There is no successful treatment so far other than surgical excision in most of cases.

Management of Giant cell tumor occupying the 5th metacarpal bone in 6 years old child.

Giant cell tumor of the bone (GCTOB) is a relatively uncommon tumor of the bone. It is characterized by the presence of multinucleated giant cells. Giant-cell tumor of the bone accounts for 4-5% of primary bone tumors and ∼20% of benign bone tumors.

Extended step-advancement flap for avulsed amputated fingertip--a new technique to preserve finger length: case series.

Purpose: The conventional step-advancement flap does not restore fingertip length after avulsion amputation with projecting bone owing to the limited size of the distal triangular flap. To overcome this problem, the extended step advancement flap using the stepladder principle, described in this article, provides an extended distal triangular flap that can be wrapped around the projecting tip of the distal phalanx while avoiding longitudinal volar scarring. The purposes of this study were to present a modification of the original step-advancement technique and to report on results in 6 patients.

Subtotal reconstruction of the burned auricle.

The goal for external ear reconstruction is to restore the function of the helical rim in order to provide support for eyeglasses and to provide a cosmetically acceptable auricle. Reconstruction necessitates both flap coverage and flexible framework formation. This article reviews 22 patients who underwent subtotal reconstruction of the auricles after burns.
