We report the case of a patient who sustained a right proximal radial shaft fracture. He experienced isolated flexor pollicis longus weakness as a result of a partial anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) injury. The incidence of AIN injury is recognized as an exceptional postoperative complication for this particular type of fracture. It might be helpful to do electrodiagnostic investigations to confirm the diagnosis. A complete clinical recovery of the nerve occurred 16 weeks following the surgical operation.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy based on motion feedback training in patients recovering from ischemic stroke.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 205 patients in the recovery phase of ischemic stroke admitted between June 2022 and June 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the conventional treatment group (n=101), receiving standard care, and the combination therapy group (n=104), receiving additional motion feedback training for 30 days.

An ulnar nerve (UN) palsy is devastating for hand function, resulting in an intrinsic minus position or claw hand with a loss of pinch grip. Distal nerve transfers facilitate faster reinnervation of hand intrinsic muscles in cases of proximal ulnar nerve lesions. The traditional anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) to UN motor transfer is commonly used, however, this still leads to long reinnervation times for the distal intrinsic muscles, important for the thumb to index pinch grip.

Despite frequent occurrences, especially throughout the Appalachian region, fish bite injuries remain largely underreported. Muskellunge anglers are at a particularly heightened risk due to the fish's large mouth and notably sharp teeth. We present a case of a male who sustained an injury to the right volar thumb following a muskellunge bite.

Surgeons use anatomical landmarks like the scaphoid tubercle, pisiform, trapezial tubercle and hook of hamate, along with Kaplan cardinal line (KCL) to avoid injury to the recurrent motor branch (RMB) of the median nerve during carpal tunnel release. The presence of transverse muscle fibres (TMF) overlying the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) may suggest proximity of the RMB, but their anatomical relationship is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of anatomical landmarks to the RMB, TMF origin and insertion, and examined the relationship between TMF presence and RMB running patterns.

Background: Quantifying the biomechanical properties of the thenar muscle can provide valuable insight into hand assessment methods.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the reliability of myotonometer measurements in determining the biomechanical properties (tone, stiffness and elasticity) of thenar muscles in healthy individuals and explore sex-based variations. Additionally, it assessed the relationship between pinch strength and these properties.
