Background: Perilunate/lunate injuries are frequently misdiagnosed. We hypothesize that utilization of a machine learning algorithm can improve human detection of perilunate/lunate dislocations.
Methods: Participants from emergency medicine, hand surgery, and radiology were asked to evaluate 30 lateral wrist radiographs for the presence of a perilunate/lunate dislocation with and without the use of a machine learning algorithm, which was used to label the lunate.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis (QT) is common among individuals performing repetitive manual tasks and significantly affects daily activities due to pain. While traditional treatments often provide limited relief, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) shows as a potential analgesic resource.
Purpose: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of HILT in patients with QT.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of three different techniques used in the surgical treatment of ulnar styloid fractures.
Material And Method: Ulnar styloid fractures treated surgically between 2012 and 2022 were evaluated retrospectively. There were three groups in the study: Group I (Kirschner wire, N= 19), Group II (tension band, N= 27) and Group III (headless compression screw, N= 25).

This work studies upper-limb impairment resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury and presents a simple technological solution for a subset of patients: a soft, active stretching aid for at-home use. To better understand the issues associated with existing associated rehabilitation devices, customer discovery conversations were conducted with 153 people in the healthcare ecosystem (60 patients, 30 caregivers, and 63 medical providers). These patients fell into two populations: spastic (stiff, clenched hands) and flaccid (limp hands).
