Objectives: Epidemiologic data concerning hand and wrist tumors are still few and sometimes conflicting. In our department, tumor surgeons and hand surgeons manage together those tumors and they have a specific recruitment. This collaboration permitted to make an epidemiologic study of the tumors of the hand operated in the unit.
Methods: We made a retrospective study of all the cases of wrist and hand tumors operated in the unit, from January 1980 to September 2008. Files were collected from diagnostic encoding, letters of consultations and the register of the department of histology.
Results: The mean age of the population was 48 years (from 16 to 94 years). The series included 623 tumors treated in 620 patients (372 women and 248 men). Tumors concerned soft tissues in 525 cases (84.1%), bone tissue in 70 cases (11.4%) and skin in 28 cases (4.5%). The prevalence of malign tumors was 1.3% in this study.
Conclusions: This series is the third in number of cases and the data are comparable of those from other studies. The prevalence of bone tumors (11.4%) is higher than in others studies (from 1.6 to 6.6%) and the prevalence of skin tumors is lower. Except for skin tumors which recruitment modalities are more variable, this series seems to be a good reflection of the prevalence of the different types of hand and wrist tumors.

Ganglion cysts are commonly found in areas of constant mechanical stress such as the joints and tendons of the wrist or hand as well as the anterior aspect of the ankle. In the knee, parameniscal cysts are often encountered secondary to meniscal tears or articular degeneration. Intra-articular ganglion cysts are uncommon and often arise from the cruciate ligaments and are found in the intercondylar notch.

Piezoelectric polymer textiles offer distinct advantages in the fabrication of wearable nanogenerators (NGs). One effective strategy to enhance the output capacity of NGs is to modulate the piezoelectric performance of the textiles. This paper focuses on further improving the piezoelectric properties of nylon-11,11 textiles through post-drawing and annealing treatments.

Wearable motion capture gloves enable the precise analysis of hand and finger movements for a variety of uses, including robotic surgery, rehabilitation, and most commonly, virtual augmentation. However, many motion capture gloves restrict natural hand movement with a closed-palm design, including fabric over the palm and fingers. In order to alleviate slippage, improve comfort, reduce sizing issues, and eliminate movement restrictions, this paper presents a new low-cost data glove with an innovative open-palm and finger-free design.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes persistent synovitis and arthritis, resulting in joint deformity and destruction throughout the body. As RA medications have evolved over the past 30 years, the surgical indications and techniques for RA joint deformities have changed. The aim of this review article is to summarize the recent trend of surgery for rheumatoid hand/finger deformities in previous reports and to present our recent surgical methods and outcomes for these deformities.
