Results of investigation of collagen metabolism in Dupuitren's contracture (DC) were summarized. The patients were operated for calculous cholecystitis and DC stages II - III. The changes revealed witnessed about more expressed degradation of collagen and affection of the elastin components of connective tissue. On background of the pathological process progress in palmar aponeurosis in patients, suffering DC, a content of oxyproline have enhanced trustworthy in urine and reduced in tissue of a changed palmar aponeurosis.

Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive thread release of carpal tunnel: a cadaveric study.

Radiol Med

January 2025

Neuromuscular Imaging Ordinationszentrum Döbling, Heiligenstädter Straße 46-48, 1190, Vienna, Austria.

Purpose: Thread release of the carpal tunnel is the most recent of several minimally invasive ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release techniques. The purpose of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide for minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided thread release of the carpal tunnel focused on transecting the transverse carpal ligament with minimal damage to the palmar aponeurosis on anatomical specimens.

Methods: Fifteen ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel thread releases were performed on the wrists of soft-embalmed anatomical specimens, which were dissected immediately after the intervention.

The importance of multiple Z- plasty- assisted physical therapy in the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture.

J Orthop Surg Res

January 2025

Department of Physical Medicine, Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.

Background: The palmar aponeurosis is extremely adherent to the skin above it. Many of the pre-tendinous coarse fibers enter the dermis at an angle, not just in the palmar creases but also throughout the palm. It's difficult to distinguish whether Dupuytren's illness starts in the skin's dermis or the palmar aponeurosis since the skin adheres so closely to the palmar fascia.

Background: There are various anatomical descriptions of the pulley system of the fingers and thumb. The A0 pulley, often referred to as palmar aponeurosis of the fingers, is of keen interest, especially regarding surgical release of the A1 pulley for trigger finger; however, there has been no anatomical description of the A0 pulley in the thumb.

Methods: Twenty-four cadaveric thumbs were dissected to expose the entire pulley system.

Background And Objectives: Postoperative pain may occur following open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). Various causes have been postulated. During OCTR, adipose tissue located between the palmar aponeurosis and the flexor retinaculum is exposed.

Article Synopsis
  • - Dupuytren's contracture is a hereditary condition leading to hand deformities due to progressive fibrosis; limited fasciectomy is a common surgical treatment, though its recurrence rates vary (2-39%).
  • - The REMEDY trial aims to see if combining limited fasciectomy with autologous adipose tissue grafting reduces recurrence rates compared to limited fasciectomy alone, involving 150 participants in a randomized controlled setup.
  • - This trial is significant as it explores the long-term outcomes of this combined treatment approach, potentially improving recovery and reducing the chances of recurrence post-surgery.
