Recently, the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) technique and relative motion extension (RME) splint changed practice in extensor tendon reconstruction and therapy. We wanted to share our approach for zones 5 to 8 extensor tendon management following the up-to-date developments. The impacts of surgery under WALANT and early active motion therapy with RME splinting were explained frankly and shown in several videos throughout the article.

Value of ultrasound-assessed dactylitis in the early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.
Semin Arthritis Rheum
December 2024
Department of Rheumatology and Joint and Bone Research Unit. Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital and Health Research Institute Fundación Jiménez Díaz (IIS-FJD, UAM), Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:
Purpose: The primary objective of this prospective, longitudinal, observational, single-centre study was to evaluate the association between ultrasound-assessed lesions of dactylitis and the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) and hand arthralgia.
Methods: We included adult patients diagnosed with PsO with hand arthralgia, with or without other musculoskeletal complaints. They were clinically assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months by a rheumatologist blinded to the ultrasound findings.

Objective: Extraction of cancellous bone from the distal radius for reconstructive procedures on the hand.
Indications: All reconstructive procedures on the hand for which a corticocancellous and/or vascularized bone graft or a large amount of cancellous bone is not required.
Contraindications: Acute distal radius fracture, osteosynthesis material embedded in the distal radius, e.
Tendon Force and Range of Motion Changes After In Vitro Total Wrist Replacement.
J Hand Surg Am
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in the tendon forces needed to cause wrist motion and in the passive range of wrist motion following total wrist replacement (TWR) using a contemporary arthroplasty design.
Methods: Eight fresh frozen cadaver arms were moved through five different wrist motions using a wrist joint simulator before and after the insertion of a TWR. Changes in the peak tendon forces and wrist range of motion were compared.
RNAi of the elastomeric protein resilin reduces jump velocity and resilience to damage in locusts.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

Resilin, an elastomeric protein with remarkable physical properties that outperforms synthetic rubbers, is a near-ubiquitous feature of the power amplification mechanisms used by jumping insects. Catapult-like mechanisms, which incorporate elastic energy stores formed from a composite of stiff cuticle and resilin, are frequently used by insects to translate slow muscle contractions into rapid-release recoil movements. The precise role of resilin in these jumping mechanisms remains unclear, however.

De Quervain's disease (DQVD) is the stenosing tenosynovitis of tendons in the first extensor compartment of the forearm. It is a common inflammatory condition that is often treated conservatively. While conservative therapy is an effective modality of treatment for a large number of patients suffering from DQVD, some patients do not improve with conservative measures.
