Fresh distal tibia allograft (DTA) has been gaining popularity among surgeons as an anatomic reconstruction option for the treatment of significant glenoid bone loss. Fresh DTA results in a clinically stable joint with excellent clinical outcomes and minimal graft resorption, and it has similar outcomes as the Latarjet procedure. Proper graft preparation and fixation are critical to ensuring optimal outcomes. The purpose of this Technical Note is, therefore, to describe our updated technique for DTA preparation that highlights precise cutting anatomy, sizing options, and use of orthobiologics to optimize distal tibia graft union to the native glenoid surface.

Anatomical Characterization of the Motor Branch to the Fourth Lumbrical: A Cadaver Study.

J Hand Surg Am

January 2025

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Purpose: The branching pattern of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve (DBUN) in the hand is complex. The anatomy of the motor branch innervating the fourth lumbrical (4L), where paralysis results in a claw hand deformity after ulnar nerve injury, is not well defined. This cadaver study focused on mapping and defining anatomical landmarks in relation to the motor branch to the 4L.

Introduction: The clinical feasibility and applicability of surface landmarks for Baxter nerve entrapment to proximal and distal sites is unclear. This study provides anatomical guidelines for optimal transducer placement using two specific landmarks, the most inferior tip of the medial malleolus (A) and the most protruding posterior tip of the calcaneus (B), to enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic injection efficacy for proximal and distal entrapment sites.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-six feet from 45 fresh cadavers (25 male and 20 female) were dissected to determine Baxter's nerve (BN) localization.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate and compare the biomechanical performance of two Kirschner (K) wire configurations-the intra-focal and interfragmentary techniques-for the fixation of dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. The study also assesses the impact of K-wire diameter (1.6 mm vs.

Background: Rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPL) is a known complication following a distal radius fracture (DRF). Although the precise mechanisms behind these ruptures remain unclear, vascular impairment is thought to play a significant role. Additionally, the impact of an EPL rupture on microstructure of the tendon and muscle is not well understood, but such information could be important in guiding treatment strategies.

Mechanical properties of the bicipital aponeurosis.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater

December 2024

School of Engineering, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:

As a biarticular muscle, the biceps brachii both supinates the forearm and flexes the elbow and shoulder, thus allowing the upper limb to perform a variety of activities of daily living (ADL). The biceps brachii originates on the coracoid apex as well as the supraglenoid tubercle and inserts on the radial tuberosity. At the distal end, the bicipital aponeurosis (BA) provides a transition of the biceps tendon into the antebrachial fascia.
