Background: The present video article describes the steps, alternatives, and outcomes of the modified Brunelli reconstruction, also known as 3-ligament tenodesis, for the treatment of irreparable scapholunate dissociations.
Description: The presently described technique is generally utilized in cases in which there is an irreparable disruption of the scapholunate ligament and widening of the scapholunate junction with no carpal arthritis.
Alternatives: Other treatment options for irreparable scapholunate dissociation include various forms of capsulotenodesis, bone-ligament-bone reconstruction, tendon-based reconstructions, partial wrist arthrodesis, and proximal row carpectomy.

Background: Many patients with asthma have type-2 airway inflammation, identified by the presence of biomarkers, including history of allergy, high blood eosinophil (EOS) count, and high fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels.
Objective: To assess disease burden in relation to type-2 inflammatory biomarker status (history of allergy, blood EOS count, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide level) in patients with uncontrolled and controlled severe asthma in the NOVEL observational longiTudinal studY (NOVELTY) (NCT02760329).
Methods: Asthma diagnosis and severity were physician-reported.
