Multiple volar dislocations of carpometacarpal (CMC) joints are uncommon and have been reported rarely. A 25 years old male presented with injury to his left hand 6 days following a road traffic accident. Clinical examination revealed gross swelling of the hand and diffuse tenderness over the carpometacarpal area. His radiographs of the hand showed volar dislocation of the second, third and fourth CMC joints in association with an extra-articular fracture of the base of thumb metacarpal. He was treated by open reduction and percutaneous fixation using Kirschner wires. The functional results were excellent at one year follow-up.

Introduction: Torus fractures, also known as buckle fractures, are among the most common types of fractures seen in children who present to the emergency department (ED). These injuries usually occur when a child falls onto an outstretched hand, resulting in the compression and buckling of the dorsal cortex of the radius while the volar cortex remains intact. These fractures generally have a good prognosis and heal well with simple immobilization with a low risk of complications.

Revision surgery after syndactyly separation is challenging. Web creep and scarring have a great impact on function and appearance of the hand. There is a paucity of literature on revision surgery for syndactyly.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of Action Observation Therapy (AOT) in improving hand functionality for women post-surgery for distal radius fractures (DRF).
- A nonrandomized controlled trial involved two groups: one receiving AOT with interactive video exercises, and the other doing traditional range of motion exercises alone over 12 weeks.
- Results indicated that the AOT group reported significantly lower difficulties in using their affected hand compared to the Non-AOT group, particularly noticeable at the 4 and 8-week marks post-surgery.
Background: The 2 primary surgical approaches for proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) arthroplasty, dorsal or volar, have been extensively described in the literature. However, the ongoing debate regarding which approach offers superior results or is associated with fewer complications persists. This systematic review aims to compare the outcomes of PIPJ arthroplasty between the dorsal and volar approaches.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the outcomes of patients treated for radiocarpal dislocation (RCD) and radiocarpal fracture dislocation (RCFD) from 2013 to 2022, involving 17 cases reviewed for injury details and treatment response.
- - Most patients had dorsal dislocations, with a majority classified under Moneim type I and Dumontier type II; follow-ups showed limited range of motion improvements and several complications requiring additional surgeries.
- - The findings suggest RCD and RCFD are rare but complex injuries; with appropriate treatment, patients often return to work and regain functional movement despite the challenges.
