BACKGROUND Extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon rupture is a potential complication following distal radius fracture, typically occurring several weeks after injury. Herein, we present a rare case of acute extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture associated with a distal radius fracture. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old woman visited our hospital with a distal radius fracture.

In laparoscopy, the absence of ergonomics in the instruments affects the performance and efficiency of the surgeon, increasing the likelihood of developing musculoskeletal injuries. This article presents the development of a laparoscopic needle holder with an ergonomic handle and the experience in its use with surgeons in the intracorporeal suturing task. The handle of the laparoscopic needle holder consists of a semi-spherical piece that easily adapts to the palm of the surgeon's hand and improves the posture and ergonomics of the wrist, allowing the direct transmission of rotational movements around the longitudinal axis of the instrument towards the tip.

Background: Complicated wrist amputation caused by severe trauma poses a real challenge for orthopedic and hand surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate a procedure of ulnoradial-metacarpal reconstruction as a rescue option in this challenging situation.
Methods: In total, 12 patients with complicated wrist amputation induced by serious injury were selected from 2015 to 2020 and followed up for 1∼6 years at a level 1 trauma center.
Arthroscopic foveal reattachment of triangular fibrocartilage complex: Inside-out technique at specific ulnocarpal anatomical landmarks.

This study evaluates the outcomes of arthroscopic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) foveal reattachment using an inside-out suture passing through the TFCC at specific ulnocarpal anatomical landmarks to grasp the radioulnar ligaments. Thirty-eight patients with a mean age of 36 years (range 19-54), diagnosed with TFCC injury with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability, underwent arthroscopic inside-out TFCC foveal reattachment using designated suture sites. At a mean follow-up of 32 months (range 26-44), pain score, range of motion, grip strength, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, and Modified Mayo Wrist Score all showed significant improvement after surgery.
