Single Buried Intramedullary K-Wire Fixation in Nonthumb Metacarpal Shaft Fractures with Immediate Postoperative Mobilization without Any Immobilization.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of single intramedullary K-wire fixation in nonthumb, metacarpal shaft fractures with immediate postoperative hand mobilization without any immobilization.

Method: This is a retrospective case series conducted from January 2019 to December 2022. We included patients with closed, simple transverse, or short oblique metacarpal shaft fracture treated with single, 1.

Dorsal V - Y Advancement Flap for Lateral Finger Defect Based on Dorsal Skin Branch of Proper Digital Artery.

Managing lateral soft tissue defects, distal to the proximal interphalangeal joint, of the finger can be challenging. The use of antegrade homodigital island flap can be limited due to the length of the defect. Using a heterodigital island flap can be precluded by an injury in the adjacent fingers.

Modified Oblique Triangular Neurovascular Island Flap Technique to Prevent the Development of Hooked Nail Deformity.

Hooked fingernail deformity can develop after any type of fingertip amputation. A more proximal amputation is associated with a higher probability of developing hooked fingernails. Proximal fingertip amputations with very short remaining nail beds are recommended for revision amputation with nail bed ablation.
