We report a rare case of atraumatic infection of the extensor tendon sheaths. Acute medical staff should be aware of the insidious nature of presentation of this condition, as early aggressive treatment is required to prevent tendon rupture. In this instance, an excellent functional outcome was achieved by surgical drainage and early tendon reconstruction.

Background: There is no standardization within hand and upper-extremity surgery regarding which patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are collected and reported. This limits the ability to compare or combine cohorts that utilize different PROMs. The aim of this study was to develop a linkage model for the QuickDASH (shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and PROMIS PF CAT (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function computerized adaptive testing) instruments to allow interconversion between these PROMs in a hand surgery population.

Article Synopsis
- Gas gangrene is a severe, often deadly infection caused by Clostridial species, typically arising from injuries, with rare cases of spontaneous infection associated with Clostridium septicum and linked to bowel issues or immune deficiencies.
- A case study details a 71-year-old woman who experienced sudden swelling and pain in her left forearm, leading to emergency surgeries after being diagnosed with C. septicum bacteremia, but ultimately lost function in her arm and required amputation.
- The case emphasizes the critical need for prompt diagnosis and urgent surgical treatment of Clostridial myonecrosis to improve chances of survival.
