Objective: The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure is a common surgical procedure for rheumatoid wrist, which involves fixing dissected ulnar head to the distal radius in order to provide "bony support" to the carpus. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the position of the fixed ulnar head was associated with postsurgical carpus translocation.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed radiographs of 40 patients who underwent the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure and were subsequently followed up for over two years. The association between the fixed ulnar head position and postsurgical carpus translocation was statistically analysed with a confidence interval of 95% (p < 0.05).
Results: Multiple regression analysis suggested that the radial inclination of the fixed ulnar head, the absence of increases in ulnar variance, and wide "bony support" were significantly associated with less postsurgical carpal translocation.
Conclusion: Our study indicated that good concordance between the "bony support" and the carpus might be important in reducing postsurgical carpus translocation.

Internal Fixation for Unstable Distal Ulnar Fractures by 2.7 mm Semitubular Hook Plate.
Adv Orthop

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcomes of the use of a 2.7 mm semitubular hook plate for internal fixation of unstable metaphyseal ulnar fractures. Between January 2015 and July 2019, 30 consecutive patients with a recent unstable distal ulnar fracture were included in this prospective case series.

Floating elbow is a complex and rare entity caused by high-energy trauma. In this paper, we present the case of a patient who suffered a traffic accident with severe head trauma, floating elbow (humeral diaphyseal fracture, radial proximal diaphyseal fracture, and ulnar segmental fracture) and radial nerve injury. Fixations were made with a humeral plate and intramedullary rods in the forearm.

A one-year-old female Eastern black-and-white Colobus () was evaluated after tangling its right forelimb in exhibit netting. Radiographs of the right forelimb revealed craniolateral luxation of the radial head and a complete transverse fracture of the proximal ulna, otherwise known as a type III Monteggia fracture. Open reduction was performed and a locking cuttable bone plate was placed to address the ulnar fracture.

The human upper limb has undergone various evolutionary myologic changes, accompanied by corresponding modifications in the anatomical course of neurovascular structures. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the emergence of the accessory head of the flexor pollicis longus (AHFPL) muscle as a beneficial biomechanical evolutionary development and its topographical relationship with adjacent neurovascular structures. In this pursuit to understand this phenomenon, dissections were conducted on sixty-two upper limbs from thirty-one cadavers.

Damage to the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, often caused by high-energy trauma, leads to significant functional impairment of the upper limb. This injury primarily affects the C5 and C6 roots, resulting in paralysis of muscles critical for shoulder and elbow function. If spontaneous nerve regeneration does not occur within 3-6 months post-injury, surgical intervention, including nerve transfers, is recommended to restore function.
