Introduction: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a common benign bone tumor. OO is observed most frequently in the long bones, especially in the tibia and femur. When occurring in the bones of the hand, OO can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of occurrence, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options regarding OO in hand bones.

Materials And Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature. All studies from the online databases PubMed and SpringerLink, which reported cases of osteoid osteomas in the bones of the hand, were included. By summarizing the literature, we evaluated the localization within the hand as well as diagnostic and therapeutic options.

Results: We included 133 studies reporting 401 cases. OO was mostly common in the phalanges. The diagnosis was mostly made by CT (computed tomography) scan. Most of the OO were treated surgically by open curettage or en bloc resection.

Conclusions: Osteoid osteomas in the bones of the hand are rare and a delayed diagnosis is common. In cases of pain combined with particular symptoms such as nail hypertrophy and swelling OO should be considered. Of the most used imaging methods, CT scans have the highest sensitivity.

Iliosacral screw osteosynthesis - state of the art.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, University Medical Center Mainz, Mainz, Germany.

Iliosacral screw osteosynthesis is a widely recognized technique for stabilizing unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries, offering notable advantages, including enhanced mechanical stability, minimal invasiveness, reduced blood loss, and lower infection rates. However, the procedure presents technical challenges due to the complex anatomy of the sacrum and the proximity of critical neurovascular structures. While conventional fluoroscopy remains the primary method for intraoperative guidance, precise preoperative planning using multiplanar reconstructions and three-dimensional volume rendering is crucial for ensuring accurate placement of iliosacral or transsacral screws.

The semantic segmentation of bone structures demands pixel-level classification accuracy to create reliable bone models for diagnosis. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly used for segmentation, they often struggle with complex shapes due to their focus on texture features and limited ability to incorporate positional information. As orthopedic surgery increasingly requires precise automatic diagnosis, we explored SegFormer, an enhanced Vision Transformer model that better handles spatial awareness in segmentation tasks.

Automated diagnosis and classification of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures using a convolutional neural network: a retrospective data analysis study.

Acta Orthop

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Danderyd Hospital, Stockholm; 2 Department of Clinical Sciences at Danderyd Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.

Background And Purpose:  Hand fractures are commonly presented in emergency departments, yet diagnostic errors persist, leading to potential complications. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in fracture detection has shown promise, but research focusing on hand metacarpal and phalangeal fractures remains limited. We aimed to train and evaluate a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to diagnose metacarpal and phalangeal fractures using plain radiographs according to the AO/OTA classification system and custom classifiers.
