University of Mersin, School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Division of Hand Surgery, Mersin, Turkey.
Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this study to evaluate the subjective and objective results of Extensor indicis proprius (EIP) to extensor pollicis longus (EPL) transfer with an emphasis on donor site morbidity.
Material And Methods: 17 patients (59% men, 41% women) who underwent EIP-EPL transfer were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age was 43 (9-64) years, and the mean follow-up was 72 (19-124) months.

Introduction: By combining nerve and tendon transfer procedures, a more versatile hand function can be expected. Here we report the long-term outcomes of novel, individualized reconstruction strategies using combined nerve and tendon transfer procedures (CNaTT) to restore prehension and grasp in two patients with tetraplegia.
Case Presentation: Two women, 45 years of age, underwent bilateral nerve transfer according to the Bertelli S-PIN (supinator to posterior interosseous nerve transfer) procedure.
Inflammatory and degenerative changes in the extensor pollicis longus muscle and tendon following ruptures caused by distal radius fractures.

Department of Hand Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPL) is a known complication following a distal radius fracture (DRF). Although the precise mechanisms behind these ruptures remain unclear, vascular impairment is thought to play a significant role. Additionally, the impact of an EPL rupture on microstructure of the tendon and muscle is not well understood, but such information could be important in guiding treatment strategies.

Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare disorder characterized by insidious asymmetric neurogenic atrophy primarily involving the upper extremities. HD most commonly affects adolescent males and has a favorable prognosis for arrest of progression. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies show chronic denervation changes in the distal upper extremity muscles.

Introduction: Conservative treatment options, such as rest, massage, cold and heat packs, wrist splints, braces, physical therapy, thumb spica casts, and local steroid injections, have been used with mixed results to treat De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Surgical treatment, like releasing the first dorsal wrist compartment, is the last resort for resistant cases of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, exhibiting an efficacy of 91%. However, complications and increased expenses have limited the use of surgical interventions.
