Article Synopsis
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome involves compression of the ulnar nerve, which can hinder daily activities, and traditional treatments include conservative methods or surgery with potential side effects.
- A new technique called ultrasound-guided thread cubital tunnel release (TCuTR) may provide a less invasive option for treatment.
- In a study on 11 anatomical specimens, TCuTR successfully transected the ligament with no damage to surrounding tissues, indicating it could be a safe and effective alternative to current surgical methods.
Pseudotumoral calcinosis of the elbow with ulnar and radial nerve deficits.

We report here a rare case of an acute peripheral nerve compression by pseudotumoral calcinosis (PCT) at the right elbow in a patient with severe tertiary hyperaparathyroidism. This complication required urgent multidisciplinary management. Surgical decompression by PCT resection enabled rapid motor and sensory recovery.

Several studies have linked calcification of the thoracic and lower extremity arterial trunks to an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD). Calcifications of the radial and/or ulnar artery are regularly identified in hand/wrist x-rays; however, the clinical relevance of these findings as related to identifying subclinical CAD is not well understood. Associations between CAD and upper extremity calcifications have been reported, but the timeline is unclear.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rothman Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is the primary soft tissue stabilizer to valgus stress in the elbow and is placed under this valgus stress during the throwing motion. Although there are known risk factors for UCL injury, it is unknown whether the UCL undergoes adaptive changes in athletes from different climates.
Purpose: To compare elbow stress ultrasound (SUS) findings between professional baseball pitchers from warm climates versus cold climates and assess significant differences in adaptive and morphologic changes in the UCL.
Comparison between scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthrodesis and Pyrocardan® implant for isolated scaphotrapeziotrapezoid osteoarthritis.

Introduction: Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) arthrodesis and Pyrocardan® implant for painful isolated STT osteoarthritis have shown good results, but no paper has compared their medium-term outcomes.
Hypotheses: Our main hypothesis would be that the Pyrocardan® implant, by preserving the carpal biomechanics, could lead to better wrist mobility. Our secondary hypotheses would be that no other clinical and radiological differences will be found between these two procedures at a mean 5 years follow-up.
