Anatomical variations may entail increased volume within the carpal tunnel and consequently the development of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptoms. The clinical importance of anomalous connection between the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons was described by Linburg and Comstock. The objective of the present study was to compare postoperative outcomes of carpal tunnel release surgery in patients with and without Linburg-Comstock anomaly (LCA).

The prevalence of the Linburg-Comstock anomaly was evaluated in 400 hands from 200 women over 40 years of age who were diagnosed clinically with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), designated as the CTS group. The volunteer group consisted of 400 hands from 200 healthy women over 40 years of age.

Objectives: What's the prevalence of CTS in adapted sports athletes based on clinical diagnostic? Is there any relationship between the presence of symptoms and the use of wheelchairs, the type of sport practiced, dominance and how long the sport had been practiced?
Hypothesis: The prevalence of CTS in adapted sports athletes is close to that of the general population.
Objective: To measure the reliability of Albertoni's classification for mallet finger.
Methods: Agreement study. Forty-three radiographs of patients with mallet finger were assessed by 19 responders (12 hand surgeons and seven residents).
