Based on anatomic study, the vascularized capitate transposition to replace excised necrotic lunate was designed and applied in 40 cases of advanced Kienböck disease. It includes excision of the necrotic lunate and proximal shift of the vascularized capitate. The blood supply of the transposed capitate is provided by the dorsal branch of the anterior interosseous artery. Bone union occurred radiographically, and no postoperative capitate necrosis occurred in all cases after 6 weeks. Twenty-three cases were followed up for 1 year. No residual wrist pain existed in the range of motion, but limited residual wrist pain existed in labor work. The arc of motion ranged on average from 35 degrees of flexion to 45 degrees of extension. The grip power of the affected hand reached on average 70% compared with the contralateral. The authors conclude the vascularized capitate transposition is a reliable alternative for advanced Kienböck disease.

The (bladderworts) species are carnivorous plants that prey mainly on invertebrates using traps (bladders) of leaf origin. On the outer surfaces of the trap, there are dome-shaped glands (capitate trichomes). Each such trichome consists of a basal cell, a pedestal cell, and a terminal cell.

Purpose: Osteoporosis, affecting over 200 million individuals, often remains unrecognized and untreated, increasing the risk of fractures in older adults. Osteoporosis is typically diagnosed with bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This study aims to develop DeepDXA-Hand, a deep learning model using the efficient CNN-based deep learning architecture, for opportunistic osteoporosis screening from hand radiographs.

Background: Capitate osteonecrosis is a rare condition that mainly presents in young patients with chronic wrist pain. Treatment aims to address pain, arthritic changes, or carpal instability.
Methods: We present the surgical technique and outcomes of using a vascularized pedicled second metacarpal base transferred on the second dorsal metacarpal artery to treat capitate osteonecrosis in a 20-year-old female secretary, former gymnast, and a 25-year-old female student with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Case: Capitate avascular necrosis should be entertained in a differential diagnosis of young, active adults with midcarpal wrist pain. We present a case study of a 30-year-old laborer who developed avascular necrosis (AVN) of his right proximal capitate. Grip strength and wrist motion were limited on examination, with advanced imaging confirming AVN.
