Case: A 64-year-old man presented with swelling of his right hand and forearm. This swelling had been recurring for 5 years. He liked sea fishing and frequently injured his fingers with fishhooks. He had difficulty bending his right little and ring fingers for 2 years and experienced finger numbness for several months. We diagnosed nontuberculous mycobacterial flexor tenosynovitis after Mycobacterium arupense was detected in a tissue sample. After surgery and 2 years of multidrug therapy, he has been recurrence-free for 3 years.
Conclusion: Nontuberculous mycobacteriosis should be considered in chronic tenosynovitis cases.

Introduction: Although there is no consensus in the literature, it is believed that the Soong classification system and fracture pattern are risk factors for plate removal in distal radius fractures.
Hypothesis: The aim of this large-scale study was to evaluate the relationship between Soong classification, fracture pattern, and implant removal in distal radius fractures.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 795 patients who underwent surgery using a volar locking plate for distal radius fractures at our clinic between 2005 and 2022.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of a novel retrograde ultrasound-guided A1 pulley release technique for the treatment of trigger thumb. We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of 42 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided A1 pulley release for clinically diagnosed trigger thumb between September 2022 and December 2023. All cases were graded according to the Green classification of trigger finger severity.

Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis (PFT), also known as septic or suppurative flexor tenosynovitis, is a closed-space infection of the hand's flexor tendon sheath that necessitates timely diagnosis and treatment. The treatment consists of antibiotic therapy often combined with prompt surgical treatment. The most common surgical approach is the closed irrigation technique, which involves inserting a 16-gauge angiocatheter in the proximal aspect of the flexor tendon sheath, leaving the distal end of the Brunner incision open during the irrigation process.

Objectives: To investigate the long-term effects of Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound (US) in treating the trigger finger. Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a common type of tenosynovitis affecting the flexor sheath of any finger. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy and therapeutic US are conservative treatments that use waves of varied frequency to target damaged regions and improve function.

Visual minimally invasive acupotomy is applicable for the diseases with the pathological characteristics of soft tissue injury, including disorders of spine, four limbs and joints, peripheral nerve compression and chronic soft tissues. The diseases with superior effect obtained are cervicogenic headache, lumbar disc herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome and flexor tendon stenosing tenosynovitis. Under the guidance with ultrasound, visual minimally invasive acupotomy is advantaged at preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative guidance and postoperative evaluation in clinical practice so that it is precise, safe and reliable in clinical treatment.
